That's rediculous. If you would like to have access and view, you
should ask. We cannot process your request unless the Debconf people
agree, though, howver putting them in Cc will give them a chance to
agree and disagree. Two of them have agreed already if I remember
correctly.

Nope.
Maybe it's easier to write this as relation like in databases:
account/login 1 ---- n earmarks for money
The auditors account is totally separate from your account. Both can
view some projects. They can be the same, but the could be different,
they could also be several of which some are shared.

That's up to you. You don't need to tell the community that you're
tracking money separately.
You also don't need to try to get an even sum after each Debconf,
however you wrote earlier that you would like this. Seems you are
separating money already.

I'm sorry. I hope that I don't add more confusion. I'm only trying
to help and offer possibilities and answer questions if somebody asks.
Additionally, it occurs to me that you're discussing things that can
be solved much easier than you think - or I'm unable to parse some of
the mails.
