The 40k of reserves is basically for unidentified future spending
needs, I've already assumed that DebConf seed funding can exist in
<[🔎] 20150320183901.GA6958@halon.org.uk>. If there's known funds we're
committing to, then that's not a general reserve.

I'd rather not spend the time to put together a full budget during the
campaign period, especially as DDs don't have access to the full picture
as far as I can tell, but I can do so if you think it would be valuable?
