Hi, Re: My assertion that iCLA lacks e-mail address: I was incorrect. Thanks for pointing it out. It might make sense though if the purpose of the e-mail address was pointed out there, e.g, "This is the e-mail address that your apache e-mail will be forwarded to.". Good to know also that mentors can get at the iCLAs. I did not know that.
Re: My mixing private and public dlists: Thanks for the correction.

It should be easy to change that to make it clear that any field not marked as optional is mandatory. > So, the mentor has to ask.

Mentor's should have access to the part of svn where the CLAs are filed so they should be able to get the e-mail address from the CLA. Also, the invited committer will have replied to the private list from a valid e-mail address and the mentors will be subscribed to the private list. So they already know the e-mail address for the new committer. Again, I feel I am missing something. I don't see where / how the disconnect you describe is happening.
