Yeah, I'd agree. But I think this system doesn't really support the setting
of amount. I guess I'd just see this thing as a way to start that
conversation, and to get across to people we are open to it. People likely
will use the more normal avenue, just emailing a core developer to ask.
This is just another potential way in. I think if we get a number of people
putting $100 up then we can revisit the process. I'm not convinced than
many people will, but it'd still be an interesting data point to learn from.
