Okay, I have hooped it would be more easy (e.g. just opt-in somwhere and
then people can start give money for more excutors), but your ide seems
reasonable, I will create a sponsor page for my tycho activities right now!
But it seems its not that easy for an individual to spnsor additional
resources and requires an "Eclipse Membership"
https://wiki.eclipse.org/CBI#Additional_Resource_Packs
Sometimes it's simpler if one has a spare machine to get it added to Tycho JIPP as executor than going through the resource packs.
