Hi, I've been thinking about how mentors works lately (after watching Asheesh's debconf11 talk). It seems like the 4 day response effort worked somewhat well for a while, but kind of tailed off, and I've been pondering what could be done instead that would have some staying power.
I've noticed that the release team has a lot of success addressing their issues in a rather timely manner. I think that this success comes from the fact that they treat all of the items they need to accomplish as bugs [0]. So, as requests get old, they notice that and do something about it (or they just close it out if the submitter isn't responsive). Anyway, I think mentors could greatly benefit from a similar work flow. So, I was wondering if there were any thoughts on setting up a mentors.debian.net pseudo-package [1]? It seems like all of the existing ones are debian.org features, so I'm not sure if that would require mentors becoming an "official" .org service first or not? Anyway, I think this could be a really significant improvement to the mentors culture.
