I'm curious, since I was the one that setup that BSP policy: Did you trace back when we went from "I am willing to approve reimbursement requests about attending BSPs" (which is basically what was in [1]) to "automatic approvals"? AFAIK, the only case where we had/have automatic approval was for DSA. - Lucas [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2014/11/msg00050.html
