Additional Mailman GSoC mentors

It's looking like we're going to have more student applicants than in previous years, so I think it'd be great if we could get a few more mentors to match.
If you're a semi-active mailman developer (i.e. I'm going to recognize your name from your mailman-developers postings) and you think you might interested in mentoring for GSoC this summer or just want to know what's involved, please get in touch with me!

I'm willing to help mentor some work. I'd really like to mentor with some other people -- especially at the application review stages -- I do have more time for day-to-day mentoring if that's done on IRC (Interrupt Driven Design, anyone ;-) But so far, my knowledge of the mailman codebase is limited mainly to archiver stuff.
I can answer questions about using bzr and some launchpad questions (although I also have lots of launchpad questions of my own :-). I'm now fully versed in Warsaw import style rules although I should probably recertify at the next pycon :-)
It does seem like there's a lot of interest in archivers this year (at least, people have been pinging me about that. Since archivers for mailman3 are somewhat in their infancy, it would be good to think of a "what do we want the state of archivers to be after the summer and a year from now" so that we can make sure that GSoC work fits into that.

Anybody else want to take the 300 page quiz on that?

Hi,
I actually would not mind give a hand to monitor someone, only point I do not want to supervise alone, I have no experience with the GSoC either as student or supervisor.
Regards, Pierre
