With an edit to take the feedback of Gael and Nelle into account (let's say $100k minimum for a place on the front page for now - more seems overly ambitious right now), I will take this as "roughly agreed" and make future website edits accordingly. And will find some time to write this up as a formal policy and add it to our governance/dev docs somewhere.
