Need another mentor?
Hi all,
After your recent difficulties to get enough timely mentor feedback on
a release I wondered if you might would like to have an additional
mentor?
If yes, I'd like to volunteer as a kind of a junior mentor, since I
am new to mentoring podlings.
I won't be able to contribute code, but I am currently learning Erlang
and playing around with CouchDB, so there is some affinity to this
project.
WDYT?
Bernd

The number of mentors has no upper bound so nobody needs to step down. Just
notify the IPMC, pointing maybe to a formal vote of the CouchDB PPMC - nudge
;)

... so if nobody objects to have a fourth mentor within the next two
or so days, I'd take this to general@incubator and see what they are
saying over there, not expecting much resistance. Especially I
wouldn't want anybody to feel like he needs to step down or is no
longer on duty. Then I'd rather not be a mentor.
That said, thanks for accepting me. :-)

No, there isn't as far as I know. Three is the minimum, the more the
better is how I understood previous discussions on general@incubator.
Four is not too much so nobody needs to step down.

Is there a maximum number of mentors? While I'd like to stick around,
if there is a set limit at three, I'm happy to step down and have
Bernd take my place.

I think that this is good -- there's no notion of a "junior" mentor,
so perhaps we should just add you as a mentor, or ask if one of the
existing mentors wants to step down (I do not). Probably should go
to the Incubator PMC.
