I'm not ok with that. I think it's important to vet mentors better than we have in the past--I know that it pushes some extra work onto the PMCs and mentors, but if we're going to keep asking for the number of projects we've had in the past, the admins can't do all the work. And as we get bigger an

Thanks, Uli. Perhaps this is best presented as a blog post, from which we can publicize/tweet, etc. Do you --or any of the ComDev folks-- have Roller editing access for blogs.apache.org? Has anything been sent to annou...@apache.org in the past? If not, that's OK, I can help with getting the wor
