If we are not as +committed/capable/available/desirable can someone please let us know? I +have already packaged a program I wrote and want added to Mageia, and I +wait patiently for a Mentor, just to find the line has been cut. + +Do I need to constantly have IRC on to be chosen? is there some +unwritten rules about how to gain a mentor? If so please let me know so +I can do these things. + +I hope this is taken constructively, I don't wish for the mentoring +offer to Kyle to be withdrawn, he sounds like he will be an asset to the +packaging team, I do think though that you should consider the list +first before making offers. If a person is not suitable, tell them so +they can move on, perhaps package for another distro, whatever.
