+1 This is exactly what I have been proposing the incubator do for a very long time. In fact I set the precedent by having two podling committers voted onto the IPMC as an experiment. That experiment proved very successful (both helped with other podlings and both are now Members of the foundation). That successful experiment should become part of the incubation process. Ross PS and yes I do see the need for me, as a mentor, of Alura to make this happen. I did discuss the projects strategy with project members a week ago. Not found the time to follow up yet but I would suggest highlighting individuals in a negative rather than positive light is not the way to encourage volunteers to find time
