So, mentors, could you tell us more about that?
mmm...it's not related to being in the incubator or not. It's a general
rule.
No one wants to come to a point where there is conflicts between users,
and there starts to be some -1 flying around because changes are made
without any consultation or global direction and understanding how the
concept of community works.
So it is better to 'know people' before granting them commit rights,
just like you prefer to give your car keys or apartment keys or camera
lenses to people you trust rather than complete strangers you meet in
the street.
It's generally never a problem a 'technical skills' but more about
knowing that the user is able to figure out his limits and will fit in
without any issue and not cause problems. (should it be technical or
social).
So technically speaking for example I'm supposedly a mentor for Ivy but
doing a very bad job at it and not very active and I haven't had time to
catchup with the backlog for a couple of weeks, so it would be unfair
for me to even ask for commit rights since I'm not very active, even
though I'm using Ivy everyday . :-)
