Myrle makes a good point. As a mentor (is been a long time though) I tried to cast my vote after there were at least 3 views from the community. Once I saw the ppmc catching issues I was missing, or I was simply ratifying their view, it was time to graduate.
The IPMC should have nothing to do with it, other than as a backstop for absent mentors. Interested IPMC members can join the community like everyone else. They are not some privileged group that gets special treatment.

This is one reason why some mentors sometimes chose to wait a bit before voting on releases. Best Regards, Myrle
