I like the idea of this new(ish) mission, and while it's not strictly in scope of the current comdev charter I suspect the current comdev group would be well suited to tackle this, especially if you're willing to join and help. I suggest modifying the comdev mission to include both helping people in becoming Apache contributors/committers and handling general discussions and guidance between committers. There's lots of overlaps between these things anyway. -Bertrand
