This is a good question. Here's an analogy. Project mentors are to a podling what ASF board of directors' officers are to a TLP. They are individuals selected upfront. Based, hopefully, on foundation-wide merit, but not necessarily a merit within each individual project (or a podling). The right that you have is to say I don't want that dude as a mentor (or I don't want to vote for that guy to be on the board) but once they are elected you are kind of stuck with them. So at the end of the day -- there's a meritocratic principle upfront. Hope this helps to understand ASF better. Thanks, Roman.
