I always thought this was the case, so +1. That being said, there does not (should not?) need to be a special process - this is open source anyone can get involved by just by showing up and helping. If the individual wants to be involved in the project then the title mentor isn't (shouldn't be?) important. Mentors have less authority in a (well-functioning) project than the committers do anyway.
Since a mentor must be an IPMC member their utility for binding votes is present regardless of the mentor title. -----Original Message----- From: Mattmann, Chris A (3980) [mailto:chris.a.mattm...@jpl.nasa.gov] Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 9:54 AM To: general@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] How do podlings add new mentors? +1 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Mattmann, Ph.D. Chief Architect Instrument Software and Science Data Systems Section (398) NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA 91109 USA Office: 168-519, Mailstop: 168-527 Email: chris.a.mattm...@nasa.gov WWW: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adjunct Associate Professor, Computer Science Department University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -----Original Message----- From: Ted Dunning <ted.dunn...@gmail.com> Reply-To: "general@incubator.apache.org" <general@incubator.apache.org> Date: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 at 9:37 AM To: "general@incubator.apache.org" <general@incubator.apache.org> Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] How do podlings add new mentors? >On Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 9:35 AM, jan i <j...@apache.org> wrote: > >> On Wednesday, December 24, 2014, John D.
