Benedict - this is totally fair ask. Initially, we wanted a wide audience to help, but the GSoD stuff only allowed for two project contacts on the sign up forms. Apache Airflow (the other ASF project accepted) and us both had to do some work-arounds for how the ASF process/mail lists/etc are setup

So, I think we need to figure out if anybody is actually willing to put in the time to help and mentor these contributors, since the last person to reach out was roundly ignored. Who volunteered the project for this? I think they need to step up and get involved. Right now, I don't feel comfo
