That's a really good idea. Automake and Autotools in general underpin
a fair amount of key open source software, but is taken for granted.
Ideas for making the case for funding:
As near as I can make out, the Sovereign Tech Fund Bug Resilience
Program application
<https://www.sovereigntechfund.de/public/files/BRP_Application_EN.pdf>
provides funding only for bug bounties, where the bugs are security
vulnerabilities. (The other help it offers is all in-kind.)
I already have a mental list of things that
*ought* to be done in the near future for autoconf but I do not have the
capacity to do by myself on a volunteer basis.
How well would that mental list mesh with the idea of funding based on
security vulnerability bounties?
