Its not so easy to recruit mentors. Not for all projects. > I am a pessimist about getting releases reviewed 'in the cloud' of > miscellaneous members of this PMC. Yes, actually very sad. These projects have less than 3 mentors and cannot release a component without the IPMC-cloud: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/easyant.html http://incubator.apache.org/projects/mesos.html http://incubator.apache.org/projects/s4.html http://incubator.apache.org/projects/tashi.html http://incubator.apache.org/projects/wink.html Many others "just" have three. Hopefully non of the mentors is on holidays when the release comes out. i watch a couple of projects and saw a lot of the mentors listed on status pages are simply not present. Even when a project "recruits a new mentor" it doesn't mean it can make a release with mentor-votes. I remember Bloodhound, JSPWiki, Deltacloud had problems to get necessary votes. Onami parent pom did take a while too. I think there were many others too.
