I think at some point the process changed, and I didn't change the
Trac tickets to match what was pending in the spreadsheet.  That
shouldn't have unduly affected the purchase of tickets, because I
clearly let everyone (with a credit card that is) :-) know that we
were using the spreadsheet as the master record of approved people to
buy for.

It won't take me but a few minutes to set the trac in order.  I'll
reopen the tickets for people who, according to the spreadsheet, are
still awaiting airfare purchase.  I'll set their milestones to a
spending milestone, so they can be accurately tracked.  Does that
sound kosher?
