I guess in the event I’m not available or so. Probably ideally the backup mentor would either be familiar with pip’s codebase or else familiar with the ideas behind a backtracking resolver. I do have someone who can do it if needed, but I figured I’d poke distutils-sig first to see if anyone else wanted to do it as well.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">They suggest that at least one mentor be exclusive to the student but that the other mentors can work with multiple students. For pip we only have the one (yay Pradyun) and I’m not mentoring anyone else so we should be good on the exclusive front (of course, if someone is interested to help with this, they can also be exclusive).</div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 1, 2017, at 4:31 PM, Ralf Gommers <<a href="mailto:ralf.gommers@gmail.com" class="">ralf.gommers@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="gmail_quote" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I'm the GSoC admin for SciPy, so need to keep track of the various deadlines/todos.
