There was a consensus to add the Champion role, and we haven't even tried it seriously, and now you propose to eliminate it. That doesn't seem reasonable to me. I'd rather try to make it useful and then evaluate it. In other words, +1 to Bertrand.
'Holding mentors to their responsibility' as a completely generic concept is an idea that constantly fails to reach a consensus, due to the 'volunteer dilemma'. For others in this thread, I completely disagree that a monthly one line edit to the XML file or a one line email is an unreasonable burden. Any mentor, let alone champion, for whom that is an unreasonable burden should not have signed up in the first place. I am limiting myself to one message on this thread per day, at most, just so you all know.
