I agree it looks sus but, if you take a step back and look at how this
whole drips thing works. Then it is understandable

with drips you can donate to any project on github
and that project can direct part of it, to its dependancies on github

for example https://github.com/efdevcon/tools
directs 8% to ffmpeg.

Now if someone stuffs let me guess 28k$ into devcon we get 2240$
but if they dont know if we will accept it ... they are better off
directing the 8% elsewhere.

And i wildly guess if by the deadline we arent setup they would
update their settings and send the 8% elsewhere

or maybe they would be just annoyed and give us another month,
i dont know

thx
