Convince NumFocus to allow a per diem #6

Right now, as far as we know, the NumFocus travel policy is to require all meal receipts. We'd much prefer a per diem style. This issue needs to be discussed with NumFocus.

Also related to us establishing a more proper travel reimbursement policy. #5

I discussed this with NumFocus. Unfortunately, grant and federal requirements are that receipts should be collected by NumFocus. So, per diem is not possible at the moment.

Pretty sure this isn't actually an answer — I regularly receive a per diem while travelling on NSF grants, and of course Moore etc have their own requirements.

It may be that this simply isn't worth arguing with NumFOCUS about, but I don't love their answer.
