Mentoring would be easier if there were clearer and more complete written guidelines. I was under the impression that this was being worked on. It would also be easier if it were clearer who is/are the Brett is planning to work on it.  Because he is, I suspect everyone else is waiting for that, instead of working on it now.  Just one of those things.  (I believe his target is January-ish?)

Yep. I am planning on starting my two month PSF grant in January and the first thing on the agenda is a complete rewrite of the developer docs and moving them into the Doc/ directory (after that is managing code in Python 2/3 HOWTO and then after that most likely testing stuff, but maybe Python 3 stdlib fixes instead if that is deemed more important).

deputed tracker authority/ies. Not everyone has the same idea about how to handle the various fields and processes. Who decides in cases of disagreement? We discussed this a while back and I don't think we really have a tracker BD.  Brett and Martin come closest, but mostly we just sort of evolve a rough consensus.  I think once Brett reduces that operating consensus to a written document things will be clearer. --David
