Chip is correct. The tools we use in board meetings make it easy for us to see how many PMC members in a TLP resolution are members. If there are not enough we will sometimes put the project on an informal "watch list" (as well as ensuring appropriate people from the PMC go on the members watch list), occasionally we bounce the proposal back (this is pretty rare).
With my Directors hat on I don't want a member being there just for mentoring, it confuses the evaluation since that person will appear as a committed PMC member but will in fact be nothing more than a mentor. What is important is that the PMC knows where to go for help when they are unsure of something. That expertise can (and should be) be present without a mentor or a Member on the PMC.

IMO, this is likely a bit of a backstop in situations where a TLP would otherwise be an island. > > - Henry > > On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 4:56 PM, Branko Čibej <br...@apache.org> wrote: > > On 07.01.2015 22:45, Henry Saputra wrote: > >> If a mentor asked to stay as PMC after graduation just for the sake > >> of continue mentoring, > > > > then I would argue that the podling was not ready for graduation.
