Hello, Recently the mentorship programme has gained some traction and now the number of applicants requesting mentorship are rising slowly. However, it is still unclear how to handle those requests and what the responsibilities are of those who offered to be a mentor, like I did.
At the moment it looks like the policy is that it's up to the mentors to write a reply to the applicant confirming the mentorship and starting the programme. Judging from the archive of this mailist that would mean that most applicants have received no response. Is this true? Are we offering a service, but not providing it? There seem to be enough mentors available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/Mentors, but only three mentors seem to have students assigned. Maybe we should make it more clear to the mentors what's expected from them. I also think that it would be good to send a reply to all applicants confirming their application. We could then add them to a (private?) list so the mentors have a pool to pick students from.
