Ideally each podling should have at least three active mentors who can make sure that the required threshold of at least three PMC votes for a release is reached. If that's not the case (as it sounds like), there are a few options: * Ask help from other IPMC members to review the particular release candidate. If you're otherwise doing fine, this should be an OK workaround until you graduate. * Find one or more new mentors to replace inactive ones. Based on past experience this can be a bit difficult, but definitely worth a try. * If the above solutions fail, i.e. the Incubator PMC is unable to provide the help and oversight you deserve, we can also promote deserving PPMC members to the IPMC so that they have binding vote on things like releases. This works, but since that's more or less equivalent to saying that at least a part of the PPMC is already able to oversee itself, so one could well argue that a better solution would be to simply let the podling graduate. None of these solutions are really ideal, which is why I'm really hoping to find better ways for us to proactively identify and find solutions to cases where a podling no longer has enough active mentors. Unfortunately that won't help with the pressing matter of your release vote. Any IPMC members around who'd be willing to lend Mesos a hand and review this release candidate? Unless anyone beats me to it (please do! :-), I'll take care of it later in the weekend.
