Spark-Kernel naming & mentors

[David Fallside]

There seems to be a consensus here that the Spark-Kernel name should change, and
so I think the Spark-Kernel team can generate a new name that does not contain
"Spark" or "Kernel". This will ensure it is not perceived as necessarily being a
core part of Spark or as having a primary association with Jupyter or Notebooks.
It also sounds like we should create a new name before entering incubation to
minimize expectations during incubation and to ensure nothing gets baked into
class hierarchies and the like.
With regard mentors, the project would be very well served by the three people
who have offered -- Julien, Hitesh, and Reynold -- thank you!
