I question how well the Incubator communicates to newcomers that such
resources are available to them. What if a podling contributor has no "people
that they trust" because they don't know anybody around here?
I'm also skeptical that the absence of an ombud makes things easier
because newcomers are "free" to find the best person to talk to. That's like
saying that an airport is better off without a help desk.
The difference between the Incubator's overview documentation (what we think
you need to know) and the information in WhatToExpect (what you really need to
know) is jarring.

If we're so approachable, why doesn't anybody know it?
