Time to jump in with Marcus' "boss" hat on.
The idea of the Maintenance Points is more like a tip you give to the
developers with the expectation that they will continue their work in
a way which satisfies you and others.
This Hurd thing is of course a bit special; as a rule of thumb I'd say
2.5 points (25 USD) are worth an hour of Hurd work; we donate any
difference to our actual cost. Obviously there must be some limit
because the other projects also require the attention of our hackers
and, beeing a small company, we have to keep our extra donation within
a reasonable limit. If it turns out that too many Points for Hurd are
ordered, we will consider to hire a hacker for the requested Hurd
sub-projects and adjust the point/time mapping to a reasonable value.
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
