+1, not only ComDev, but actually IPMC as well, as it's actually the PMC
that has the most experience with regards podlings and what

Google Summer of Code is an excellent opportunity to attract fresh
blood to your project and it is a good practice for a podling to
participate.
GSoC students are potential committers, there will be a splash of
discussion on your @dev list, the podling will be promoted, etc. -

I agree with this, the incubator is busy enough helping podlings
become top-level
rs.
I don't think it is the responsibility of ComDev to do this, although one could
argue ComDev should be documenting these techniques in ways useful to mentors.
I don't think it is the job of mentors (or the IPMC) to do this either. It is
entirely the PPMC responsibility. In my opini

Luciano,
My five cents is this: growing communities is really, really, hard,
and I don't know that anyone at Apache has a recipe. If anyone does,
it might be the comdev committee. I'm not sure that this PMC can take
it on. We can barely muster the minimal supervision that the board
requires of us.
Actually, this has its own difficulty. Sponsorship can lead to
(inadvertent or intended) domination by the sponsored developers.
But I agree completely that helping volunteer communities grow is an
important issue.
