There is a difference between Mentors and Shepherds. A shepherd is assigned for a reporting cycle to look into the podling to see how things are going. I was assigned as shepherd this month and have left my comments along with an email. Your mentors are supposed to provide guidance in the Apache Way. If your mentors are absent then that is a different matter. If you would like new mentors then please ask here on this list. If on the other hand the Gossip community feels that the Apache Way and particularly the release process is too much process and not enough coding then that is your choice.
