Bit of a weird headline as the article says Debian org has $900k in the bank but that is not spent on the devs; they are volunteers. If they would offer, let’s say, 2k/mo (the article says they need good people who like though problems; 2k is nothing for those types however, many people would like do it because of love for Debian; they do not do it now as they need at least a little food on the table) per full time contributor, there would be plenty of devs joining. But for their goals to be met, they would be also immediately broke. So in fact they do not have plenty of money to achieve what they want, unless people work for free.
