Patrick, You point to an interesting topic. I think there are several types of projects, and geomajas seems to be also in the category you describe.
It could be a good starting point for a discussion how we can best support OSGeo projects in general, and what should be the rules for the allocation. Code sprints are good for a project to have a lot of things done in a short time for one project, but learning to learn from different projects how they are working together and share ideas and fun could also be a good goal to help open source collaboration. But if you want to allocate a budget for awards such as the Europa Challenge, this is a separate budget than the code sprint budget, so maybe this suit your goal better.
