+DebConf does their accounting with Ledger.
+
+Eg: <https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc25/-/tree/main/budget>

+Multiple years are available, though I'm not sure where to browse them all.
+
+These repos are big; to clone just the accounting data for a few recent years, run `make` here.
