Hey Chris, this is a good point — I didn’t realize that the mentors would have other roles later in interacting with the ASF, I thought they were just focused on the incubation process. In that case I think I’d propose we add you, for example, once the project is up. For simplicity I don’t think it makes sense to cancel the current vote and add another person, but we can have a new vote once we have a PMC. Help in this area is definitely appreciated.
