Hi

+1, agree with JB points.
Mentor mostly just focus on ASF policy and rules, then is ok. 
"Teach him how to fish", it is more important, so it would be better if
mentors could provide some good example cases(role model) for them to learn,
tell them how to find the solution from ASF website.

Liang
