Note that this is partly covered by the Debian Constitution:

5. Project Leader

5.1. Powers

[...]

10. In consultation with the developers, make decisions affecting property
held in trust for purposes related to Debian. (See §9.). Such decisions
are communicated to the members by the Project Leader or their
Delegate(s). Major expenditures should be proposed and debated on the
mailing list before funds are disbursed.
