ok thought it through...
... the idea was, to reward those, that add value to society/all of mankind.
but then some might feel treated unfair? (because all work in this field
is valuable, from coding, to compiling, to packaging, to documentation "howtos")
and all that contributed to Debian before 2023 would have to be granted:
~ 10 Billion USD to make it fair.

What about (could do that in PHP) reward system, that logs/makes
transparent, what developer-contributor, contributed how much "work" (meassured in hours/lines of code/but also votes (rating the quality
of the commit?))
and then give out rewards accordingly... ?
(can be money, could be hardware donations, could be club mate?)
(maybe every developer-contributor can make a "wishlist" and Debian
tries to make that happen according to donations X-D)
what does thee think?
(probably not the first someone had that idea)
