Re: call for applications: mentoring program for code contributors

Hi,

I've now sent acceptance and rejection emails to, I believe, all
applicants. If you applied and didn't get an email, let me know.

For those who may be interested in the statistics, I received 34
applications. Although I initially anticipated being unable to accept
more than 9, because we had 9 committers volunteer to mentor, it
turned out that five of those committers ended up wanting to mentor
two people each, so I ended up being able to send 14 acceptances. I'm
fairly satisfied with that, especially because 12 or 13 of the people
who were rejected have not, to the best of my ability to figure such
things out, ever sent an email to the list. Of course, it would be
nice to do better, but I feel like for the first time around, this
went well.

Let's see how things go from here!
