On a related note, I've renewed and payed for the Apple Developer program in May so I can
provide uninterrupted services for the project. I haven't started the reimbursement process yet
due to personal reasons, but when I do, I'll kick it off with a vote. According to what I've just
read here, there will be trouble, yes?

Yes. The problem is that it changes to vote to "Do we reimburse Rene, a guy we know and love?" instead of "Do we continue our project's relationship with Apple?". You already made that decision unilaterally. It removes the PLC from making the core decision. Now I think that we would vote to do that, but it's important who makes that decision from a governance perspective.

Generally speaking running a non-profit is much more difficult with finances. It isn't a business that can do what it wants with funds. There is a lot of verification and process that has to be associated with it to ensure compliance with the laws. Which are cumbersome, but protect from people using charities as a tax shelter or laundering money through them.
