:-)
the idea would be to get template approval from the PR committee for
liberal licenses for graduation t-shirts with names to be filled in.
if people are interested, maybe the proposal could be resurrected...

I misunderstood, that'd be awesome. I was thinking you meant more
generally. It might be a good carrot to get out of the incubator ("no
ASF-mentioning shirts until graduation). Merch profit could be used
for things like the travel assistance program if it was priced above
cost. I believe OpenBSD does something similar.
