Finding the project for an ICLA isn't too hard provided the person's name
was mentioned in the mailing list recently. Finding the userid for someone
new, however, does require them to tell us ahead of time.
Mhmm, that's why I made it mandatory on icla.live, and also check
against existing user IDs. It's not perfect (someone can still be stupid
and insist on 'webmaster'), but it's better than before :)
On that note, I think I'm done for now with that site. Use it for
projects if y'all want to :)

Actually I think there is a lot of documentation and in itself it can be
a bit daunting. Also for the committer request, it would be great if it
could be streamlined by doing some kind of online form but there is the
question of the digital signature that might be an issue.
Also, some of the optional fields such as the Apache ID or the project
name should maybe be explained as less than optional. I’ve had the problem
recently that committers filled the ICLA without the optional fields, and
then the secretary asked for the ID and the project name. So this is
putting additional work on the secretary which could be avoided.
In other words, it’s not that hard when you know the process, but when
you’re learning it and want to do the right thing by not bothering mentors
for everything, I think it is less straightforward than setting up an
account on Github, which I think is what a lot of people are comparing the
experience too (at least that’s the feedback I get usually).
Your Mentors are the ones who need to update the roster in Whimsy. It used
to be only the VP Incubator.
If a Mentor is not helping drive onboarding then they aren’t engaged.

Mostly, I think folks find the process daunting. :-/...
I'm curious what's so hard, maybe we aren't explaining things properly?
IMO an initial or elected committer needs to choose an Apache ID,
register their iCLA, wait for their account to be created, sign up to
their project's dev (and maybe private) list and they're in business.
Ok, for now they also need to create accounts on Jira and Confluence
if the project uses that.
Is this what's considered too hard, or did I miss something?
