I would like to see the Incubator someday reach the point where we could DISTRIBUTE our oversight across the podling lists, where graduation votes are largely ceremonial other than vetting the language, where release votes happen solely on dev lists, etc.
But we will NEVER get there and still do a responsible job of oversight until we can get to the point where we can reliably TRUST the word of a podling mentor about the state of affairs of a podling. And if we've never actually read the words of a mentor summarizing a podling's activities, how are we supposed to suddenly start trusting them come graduation time? ----- Original Message ----- > From: Upayavira <u...@odoko.co.uk> > To: general@incubator.apache.org > Cc: > Sent: Monday, January 9, 2012 2:42 PM > Subject: Re: Small but otherwise happy podlings > > I was even thinking something like 'miss two reports, you're no longer a > mentor', but that might be a bit draconian :-) > > I know I would fail according to the above criteria.
