Why are you not a mentor for this project? I don't see anything in the rules against it, and I believe it will be easierall around if you can also wear the mentor hat.it would probably be easier but i thought that independent mentors would be healthier and the experience might be educationalI'd say we were conflating the two roles played by mentors: Mentoring the podling Providing infrastructure support for the podling+1 infrastructure approval should probably rest with the IPMC in general rather than the mentors specifically
IIUC, Mentors are tasked with setting up infrastructure because any one person would have so much work to do that no one would ever volunteer to do it. So we have volunteer Mentors who have karma and are willing to step up.
Specific things that Mentors do for podlings in this regard are asking via JIRA for infra to do things that only infrastructure folks can do; establishing the svn repo; adding podling committers to authorization files; moderating email; and setting up the web site.
I think that Someone needs to be responsible for these things, and I don't see that "the IPMC in general" or the IPMC chair specifically needs to have anything to do with them.
