We discussed this in the PGCon dev's meeting, and the outcome of the
discussion was that we needed to put up a wiki page explaining to those
trying to pledge the money what to do and what to expect.  David took
the first step by writing the page being complained about.

If the page doesn't explain what the title says, then the contents of
the page needs to be fixed (not the title).
