tl;dr; agree with a problem statement, don't think
that proposal wording has much to do with solving
the problem, would love to see mentors do more.

A very strong +1 to that.

Fine-tuning proposal guide would be helpful ("patches"
are always welcome).
That said, I *really* don't think it would have any impact
on the problem stated above. The real answer lies in
mentors/champions who are diligent about guiding
poddlings towards true understanding of the Apache Way.
There's a separate thread on how to make mentors
more accountable.
IOW, if we want a change in poddling behavior, I'd rather
focus on incubation/graduation process rather than
entrance criteria.
Thanks,
Roman.
