We could also add to the request email a link to the podling's Status page, since that page will list the mentors and is
only writable by a PMC member.

Why not just modify incubator procedure to make it clear that
1) Mentors make the requests and
2) They sign the email w/ the title "$PODLING_NAME Mentor"
Now #2 don't prevent someone from misrepresenting themselves - which
would have to be dealt with - but rather it allows us to not act on but
simply reply back to those that ask for accounts w/o representing
themselves as mentors...

Infrastructure,

Requests for infrastructure and accounts should be coming from those

oversight.
Hmm, while this makes sense it also makes it very hard to recognize
valid requestors. The Incubator PMC membership is not always a
long-term relationship and so root@ (et al) will have to find out
about new mentors in some easy way.
For example there's this account request from Don Brown
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from today - it's not easily possible to find out
if he is supposed to be in charge of that - there's nothing on the PMC
list and there's just one vote thread covering the proposal on the
public list, nothing else... so how are we supposed to find out if he
is a mentor for some poddling?
(And btw, I don't think it is efficient to dig mailing list archives
on every incubator request but that's the only possibilty right now,
the website isn't up2date in this regard.)
Cheers,
Erik
