The one project I am involved with in the Incubator (Lucy) is fortunate to have a full contigent of engaged Mentors. One of our release votes took a couple weeks, but the timing of that release wasn't a big deal and we chose to be patient. Every time we have needed our Mentors, they have come through for us. On behalf of the many podlings whose releases candidates you've reviewed in the past, though, and on behalf of the others who will need such review in the future -- thank you.
