Ok, so It appears besides me we need another one or two mentors to act as 
backup mentors. I guess in the event I’m not available or so. Probably ideally 
the backup mentor would either be familiar with pip’s codebase or else familiar 
with the ideas behind a backtracking resolver. I do have someone who can do it 
if needed, but I figured I’d poke distutils-sig first to see if anyone else 
wanted to do it as well.

They suggest that at least one mentor be exclusive to the student but that the 
other mentors can work with multiple students. For pip we only have the one 
(yay Pradyun) and I’m not mentoring anyone else so we should be good on the 
exclusive front (of course, if someone is interested to help with this, they 
can also be exclusive).

That would be awesome. I’m poking at the sites now to figure out everything I 
need to do to make sure all the administration bits are done properly, but 
having a double check that I don’t miss something would be great.

Ok cool.
