I agree.

Mentors are the first line of support for questions. They read all of the 
traffic on the dev and private lists. And yes, they vote on releases, but in 
practice podlings only have 1 or 2 active mentors. So, podlings need votes IPMC 
members need to vote. 

Anyone who doesn’t have time to vote on at least 2 release candidates a year 
should, in my opinion, resign from the IPMC. I’m sorry, but apathy really 
pisses me off. It drags us all down. I’d rather spend time with a few motivated 
people than a whole load of dead-weights.
