Lack of interested mentors is indeed an issue. Nobody has unlimited time and chooses what attracts him. For me it usually means things I know and test or which I find interesting after reading RFS email.
It is. At the same time, I think that we can increase the number of DDs 
who want to sponsor or review packages by asking nicely on debian-devel 
and making this list more fun to be on.
Well it would be definitely useful having better tracked package reviews and problems found on earlier upload, so that it is clearly visible if there are still some not fixed issues.
That makes sense. We can solve that through some technology, like "REVU" 
<https://launchpad.net/revu>.
I'm running out of cycles to maintain more technology, so instead I will 
try to reconfigure the expectations on the mailing list so that mentees 
know what to expect. So mentees -- if you think you've solved the problems 
raised on the list, and you think someone should upload it, but no one did 
-- reply within the thread four days later to say that your expectations 
have been broken. (-:
Remember: Communicate! (And all, thanks for such an interesting thread.)
