What "arbitrarily defined hoops” are you referring to? ASF policy or something else? > The IPMC doesn't need to enforce policy of any kind, except at the point of > graduation. That seems less than ideal to me, why would a IPMC volunteer want to do that job? And again IMO it introduces a hard gate that podlings are going to dislike, probably more so than they do now. > When things change for individuals and they can no longer be good mentors > then the IPMC needs to make it a priority to help find a new, truly > dedicated mentor. It's a problem that needs to be solved, but let's worry > about that when it's actually a problem rather than a hypothetical one. It’s currently a problem, not a hypothetical, see for instance votes coming to this list without 3 mentors +1 votes, or the missing reports or missing sign-offs on the current incubator report to the board. This problem isn’t going unrecognised either, you’ll also note that recently nearly every month new mentors have been found and added to podlings that need them.
