If you look at many of existing ASF projects, including the big ones,
not many of them have "shepherds".
When someone has question then sending email to dev@ list is the way
to go and the community should be able to help.
We could use prefix in subject to help define topics or certain discussions
I disagree that shepherding is unneeded. Just having a de-facto tier one
support contact is huge to help acquaint a new developer. Perhaps our
definitions of shepherd differs, i'm thinking of it amounting to "when you
have questions, [committer name] is here to help you".

I think for small community like Aurora we do not need shepherding for
contributors.
We could do it via JIRA and review boards as Sebastien mentioned. If a
contributor is interested in certain feature then one of the PPMCs
could just engage and help driving through solution.

Some things not yet addressed (some have obvious solutions, but still
warrant explicit discussion):
- What is expected of a shepherd?
- How does a newcomer learn that we have a shepherd program?
- How is a shepherd assigned?

As part of our first IRC meeting one of the topics that came up was
shepherding contributors that have shown interest and how we can help and
encourage them into committer roles and grow the community.
Opening this discussion thread so we can flush out any ideas not brought up
during the meeting
