Q: Money spent on helping newbies to travel to debconf

Hi,

It appears that in the past, a lot of money has been spent to bring 
outreachy people to Debconf (sometimes on the name of diversity). 
Unfortunately, very often, these people are going away from the project 
after a year, and it feels like a waste of Debian money.

Are you willing to continue supporting this? Don't you think it's more 
important to help the ones that are dedicating a big chunk of their 
lives, often daily, and for decades, to the Debian project? Isn't 
in-person conversation with this type of big contributors more 
important, so we have a chance to improve Debian?

Cheers,
