I haven't, and I'll accept some of the blame for that, but there are |
| 9 |
only three team members: gienah, qnikst, and slyfox. All of them are |
| 10 |
certainly overworked, and the most communication I've had with any of |
| 11 |
them is a question on IRC or a thanks/thanks exchange on a pull request. |

It seems a little rude to pop in, address them personally, and ask them |
| 14 |
each if they'd devote months of their time towards mentoring me. (Doing |
| 15 |
so can pressure someone into agreeing to something he doesn't want to |
| 16 |
do, or makes him reject you personally which many people find awkward.) |
