I agree with you. The issue is that several projects are not structured like the QA one, or for the NL projects, are disseminated over several tasks that are not specifics to one subproject and so they don't see how to answer/handle such a request for funds. You idea, or Björn one, is very good, but need some organization before being submitted to the rest of the community. Mostly it's a matter of close communication with the projects.
