Hi,

The result of the vote to to promote Pablo Salingo Salgado as core developer after one week is positive: I declare that Pablo is now a core developer, congrats! (...)
Giving more responsibilities to Pablo is part of the learning process. Reviewing as a core developer is different than a review as a contributor: core developers are expected to actually merge a pull request once they approve the change. Merging a pull request is a big responsibility and an investment in the long-term, because the committer is expected to fix regressions and issues related to this change for next months, if not next years.
Sadly, I was less available than I expected to review his work, and so I don't feel comfortable yet to stop mentoring.
I asked Pablo and he is fine if I extend the mentoring to the end of September. I expect that one extra month should be enough, but I will be in holiday most of August ;-)
I just wanted to say thanks for thinking about this to begin with. It's very easy to set a new core dev loose and forget what it takes to get up and running.
