I wouldn't make too much fuss over what the mentors did. Yes this project had a very good pool compared to what most incubating projects have to deal with, but the public accolades surrounding the successful release belong to the committers and the supporting community on this project. Most of our time as mentors was focusedon social/legal issues, not technical issues. Just keepingthings moving along was not all that difficult, most of the time ;-).
You've exceeded our expectations to get to this point so quickly, and I look forward to reviewing your processes towards graduation.
