I think I started it actually, in 
https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2014/11/msg00050.html
However at the time it was not automatic. I don't know when it became
automatic.

So, as I understand it, the (semi-)automatic 100USD for basic BSP reimbursement 
as started by Lamb is still valid.

Thanks a lot for digging through the list for me, I knew my memory 
wasn't failing me, but I didn't have to heart to do this myself :)


I've updated the wiki accordingly.

There are a popularity-contest package you could have used!

Done. Please check for the result tomorrow.

The point is that there are still systems reporting it!

Imagine a large red swirl here.

I might have overlooked better contact information, but couldn't find a
popcon.debian.org to report bugs against, or a repository for the server
side to file merge requests against.

I'm not sure how that works, but it'd be nice to add support for the
non-free-firmware component, which is going to be used starting with
bookworm.

Also, it /might/ be time to retire debian-non-US, obsolete since Sarge
(2005).

So, as I understand it, the (semi-)automatic 100USD for basic BSP reimbursement 
as started by Lamb is still valid.

That process has been suspended by .

There is a system development in progress to streamline the process as 
requested by Sam at the time*:

https://salsa.debian.org/stefanor/debian-reimbursement

Currently please ask for pre-approval as with any other expense request:

https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL/Reimbursement

* there are other reasons for this system development, too, as per
https://salsa.debian.org/freexian-team/project-funding/-/blob/master/accepted/2022-11-debian-reimbursements.md
