Really? Which responsibility are you unable to fulfill? There are 7 responsibilities. Tell me the EXACT number that you cannot do. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/contributor/mentors (note that points 4 and 5 should be rewritten for the new patch handling and staging) Pavel Roskin is doing everything right. He's clearly read the CG, he's submitted stuff to rietveld, he's actively trying to get help in the manner that we want people to ask for help. But once his patches get through the countdown, nobody wants to bother taking responsibility for getting the final git patch and pushing it. He's one of the easiest people to mentor. Last summer, you were very vocal about wanting mentors for new contributors. If you can't handle Pavel, then I think I'll just remove all mention of "mentors" from the docs. It was a cute idea, but it hasn't worked yet, and there's no reason to think that it will work in the future. Right now it just gives false hope to new contributors. - Graham -- ---- Join the Frogs!
