The thinking is that a mentor is at least honest; a reasonable assumption. If they claim to have reviewed a release or board report then they can be trusted to have done so to the best of their abilities. The two mentor minimum rule addresses the possible unevenness in ernest mentors’ abilities. There is no silver bullet but this proposal covers a lot of the perennial problems that the Incubator seems run into without changing responsibilities; a nice incremental step. It also simplifies the roles that podlings need to grok. Finally, it adds more impetus for PPMCs to take ownership in their incubation. Regards, Alan
