I'm working on the Knox podling and perhaps I've just been lucky by my mentors have been GREAT. Sure some times I've had to ping them directly to get a question answered or get a vote but that is to be expected in a volunteer org. One thing Knox did right (by accident) is that we have alot of mentors, seven. I was always able to find someone with cycles to help. The only thing I would suggest is that perhaps podlings need a well defined process by which they can add/replace mentors if they didn't get as lucky as me.
