Hi, I thought you needed to be a IPMC member in order to be a mentor. [1] states that "Mentors MUST be on the IPMC." If you're an ASF member you can ask to be on the IPMC [2]. So by "people" above I assume you mean ASF/IPMC members or has this changed?
Thanks, Justin 1.http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html 2. http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Incubator+Project+Management+Committee+%28PMC%29
