i would think that if there is someone contributing to the project that the
community would recognize and add them themselves. it isn't up to the
mentors to do anything except perhaps suggest they consider it if they're
being really thick about it.

it would be cool if the mentors might suggest possible relationships with other projects where there might be synergy and perhaps cross pollination?

If a community meets all the criteria, but hasn't discovered a new

If not, how can we—mentors— nudge the community to focus on this
thing, without it becoming an exercise in "checking the check marks"?


There are at least two scenarios:


Yup, but I'd like to add a third one:
 - the podling has voted in a new committer, but only because the
committer was 'discovered' by the mentors


Whoever 'discover' the new committer is irrelevent, IMO.

Sending a mail suggesting the community consider someone as a
committer sends a clear signal about the height the barriers should be
set at and encourages discussion. Next time around someone in the
community will make the proposal.
