I agree with this worry, "Prioritise an issue" seems a safer way to
say this.  And maybe hint about having a chat with us first if you
feel strongly to avoid disappointment.

Secondly do we need limits on the number of issues and topics we can
have?  It's kind of odd to limit but likewise we can't have 20 topics
and 200 issues as we'll just have to disappoint (and to be honest, we
might be more motivated working on other bits ;-)).

Can we make being listed as supporter opt-in for all levels?  Then we
can add logo and links for higher level sponsors (€500-€1000).



I also wonder if it's worth going into more detail about what we might
work on, currently seems rather vague.  For example I'd like to work
on the "failing tests from finalizers"/addverifier which I'd be happy
to summarise in a paragraph.  It might give people something more
explicit too look forward too, rather then just the next release.
Just the next release will happen anyway, maybe a bit later or with a
fewer features but it will happen.

Floris
