And then we get what we've seen on -devel over the past few days with somebody who is a DM already. Very basic questions, showing that the documentation was (best case) not understood or (worst case) not read at all. Now multiply that by 10 or more and watch (even more) people walking away from -devel. If you want to bring up -mentors at this point, then you can s/-devel/-mentors/ above and it still holds. Let's add that the quality of advices and reviews offered on -mentors can vary wildly depending on the respondent (DD or not doesn't matter here), from inexact to blatantly (sometimes, dangerously) wrong. Recipe for a disaster. That said, NM is a pain for the applicants *and* the AMs from what I've witnessed recently. There's certainly room for improvements in the process, but it doesn't look like FD is open to much changes in the way NM works today (again, from what I've witnessed recently).
