:) well, I would not want to dizz me that much, but I definitely
strongly appreciate when Thibaut gets someone else to mentor him.

I personally am somewhat surprised by the current situation. Last year I
basically had a joint mentorship with Charles <plessy> and found it to
be very fruitful and encouraging experience.  Please discuss on the list
 (or continue to discuss) what you want to achieve and how you want to
achieve that. If you don't come up with a joint plan, then I suggest the
pkg-fso community and (more importantly) Thibaut to select who shall
mentor him.

Many greetings
