That is indeed mundane. A little bit sad, for Mahmoud.

To you, Mahmoud: also my apologizes.

I think we should make an attempt to be better at this, so that this
wont happen in future.

In which ways can alumni Tracker developers assist you? I saw the
request for Mahmoud's GSoc Proposal review in April and I noticed Sam's
reply to it. I figured all is Quiet on the Western Front and that I
could go on with my daily activities. I didn't realize some kind of
action could have been assisted with.

ps. I used to be GSoc mentor when GSoc was still a very young project.
So I know there is some amount of work involved in getting a student
through the process. I have no idea how it is like today. Last time I
wanted to help out, I needed a GMail account. I wasn't willing to get
myself such an account, but the people from Google accommodated me. Not
sure if it's easily doable to be of any assistance without such a GMail
account? 


Kind regards,

Philip
