I vote a)
Though I will understand if others want to tweak some wording, I'm hoping we managed to collect everyone's thoughts in the redraft.

==== Background ====
The developer team would like to improve cross platform support, and one measure towards that goal is to improve the access to Windows and macOS machines for core contributors.
With merging the GTK4 branch, there is new interest in such a program.
Martin and I have drawn up a policy for this program, which is attached. It mostly combines my previous email with your comments, plus some context around it.
We've decided against excluding mice and keyboards, although I understand where the objection comes from. As other peripherals, such as color-correcting screens, stylus-like devices, etc. they may be relevant for improved hardware support (e.g.macOS specific keyboards, the touchpad and stylus included with Microsoft Surface keyboard covers etc.). I would, however, expect that a developer who returns a keyboard would at least wipe it a little bit!
Again, the policy is directed at proven and trusted contributors.
We'd like to test out the procedure of the policy, so if it passes, I'd ask the four people listed in the last email to request the hardware as per section 3.
==== Vote ====
a) Approve the attached hardware policy.
b) Don't approve the attached hardware policy.
c) Other: ....
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
