The last time I was in this neighborhood, I was told (by no less than our esteemed chairman) that the Champion's role was purely to play Virgil on a podling's initial tour of the Foundation and the Incubator. Once the podling was accepted, the Champion evaporated.
If I add Bertrand and Christian's remarks, I come up with two possibilities: 1) Each podling has a 'lead mentor', who signs up for specific responsibility for monitoring the podling and reporting problems to the PMC. 2) We redefine the term Champion to be a sort of meta-mentor who, somehow, watches out for bears or missing mentors without necessarily getting deeply involved. As far as I'm concerned, the original role of Champion is fairly silly and symbolic, and any ASF member can help a podling make a proposal to the incubator. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
