I agree with the need to make sure temporary accounts don't stick around. OTOH I think asking PMCs to approve their mentors would be good, if only to make sure each PMC is aware of which of their committers are mentors. This could be a simple lazy consensus approval, where we ask each mentor to inform their PMC's private list, telling them to bark if they disagree, and copy that message to our private GSoC mentors list. -Bertrand
