[Mailman-Developers] GitHub/development tools integration project Gsoc'15

[Sumana Harihareswara]

Hello. I am the person who originally wrote up this idea. I am not going
to mentor it; I am not skilled enough at working with Mailman, and I
have other time commitments, so I will not be mentoring this or any
other Google Summer of Code student or idea.

No, I will not mentor this project.

If no one has specifically said "I will mentor this project" then no one
is assigned to mentor it. However, a good student, someone who writes
well and shows resourcefulness and gives the impression that she/he
would be interesting to work with, could potentially attract a mentor
who wants to work with that student. You may find
