I agree it would be nice to have some well-defined rules so that everything is fair. But I do not know what those rules should be.

You have said things like "5 most important" in your email, but I do not see any metric for defining that. Is it "git shortlog"? I am not sure that is the best metric (try generating your own list and comparing it with shortlog). Also, is it "shortlog" over all time, or "shortlog --since=1.year.ago", or some other time period.

I had hoped by inviting people to express their need, that the invitation would be equally open to everyone, and we could then get an idea of the scope of need.

By the way, nobody has contacted me asking for travel money at this point.
