[bisq-network/proposals] Role owners should itemize compensation on a per-role basis in monthly compensation requests (#30)

[Chris Beams]

> _This is a Bisq Network proposal. Please familiarize yourself with the [submission and review process](https://docs.bisq.network/proposals.html)._

Since we began submitting and voting on compensation requests more than 9 months ago, @bisq-network/role-owners have taken various approaches to requesting compensation for their efforts.

Generally, those who have "hard costs" such as hosting fees always request that amount as part of their overall compensation request, but the "softer costs" of time and effort involved in carrying out the duties of their role have not been well-accounted for.

I have just published a new 'Roles' in bisq-network/bisq-docs#46 that lays out specific instructions for how role owners should account for these costs as part of their monthly reporting and compensation requests. These instructions can be found in the https://docs.bisq.network/roles.html#compensation section. **Please read this section and respond here with any questions or clarifications.** As per usual, please also react to this proposal with a 👍, 😕 or 👎 as appropriate.

The goal of getting this document and proposal out now (July 10th) is to be able to start following this new practice in next month's Aug 1st–3rd compensation voting.

For those who play a repository maintainer role, please also see the https://docs.bisq.network/roles.html#maintainer-duties section and pay special attention to the "Maintainers are not Developers or Reviewers" admonition. Separating PR development and review from the strictly defined work of maintenance is an important part of keeping role compensation accounting simple and largely repeatable from month to month.

As a final note, I want to acknowledge the overhead that dealing with compensation requests and monthly reporting causes for people, especially those who still own a large number of roles. My goal is to refine these processes until they are as smooth and efficient as they possibly can be, but doing so requires constant attention and refinement along the way. It's extremely important to the future of BSQ that users understand and have confidence in the way we account for our efforts as contributors and role owners. Thanks everyone for helping to achieve this goal. Please provide whatever feedback you think will accelerate or improve the process.
