[SAC] budget for maintainance

[Even Rouault]

Hi

As representative of a project using services maintained by SAC, I'm fully 
supportive if the committee decides that some tasks to help maintain them (and 
improve) deserve funding. The current spamming attacks are consuming a lot of 
volunteer time and energy, mostly on SAC shoulders (really big kudos to you 
guys!), and in a lesser, but still painful, way to projects. The current 
inability of creating a OSGeo UserId may also have some implications on the 
image of OSGeo or its openness.

Cheers,

Even
