Thank you for your feedback, we value constructive comments... however, I'd
like to remind you that we are volunteers, and try to do our best for the
common goal of attracting new developers to our community. We count on the
active collaboration of mentors to do that. We have been managing an
enormous amount of students/mentors/projects. I understand that this is not
visible from outside, but you need to trust me if I tell you that we need
the collaboration of mentors. In honesty, I don't think that we require too
much. However, if following simple instructions is too much for you, then
you probably need to ask yourself if you have enough time/energy/will to
mentor. We prefer to stick on less projects but well mentored, rather than
a lot of projects in which we end up filling the gaps of unwilling mentors.

Best regards,
