I am listed as "Contact" in the description on http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/show/google/gci2010/debian/t128985930296 No wonder why people contact me. And then, in the comment below the description, you suggested to "Get in touch with Lucas to discuss ideas." While I'm always fine with discussing UDD with free software developers, mentoring students aged under 18 is a bit different. > The only reason the student who claimed the task contacted you is > because your name is kind of all over the place on webpages related to > UDD. > If you consider being contacted about UDD or having having people > contribute around UDD a nuisance, then fine.

I briefly considered the idea of submitting tasks to GCI, but decided against it because I'm quite busy currently, and already had Debian things I wanted to do more than that. So, in short, either you: - decide you want to mentor that task, and remove me from the Contact field in melange - decide you don't want to mentor that task, and cancel the task I'm not sure what "refrain from accepting any other" means. If that means that you'll no longer accept tasks from me because you accepted one from me which wasn't really from me, that's a rather strange decision. I would prefer if you did the opposite. > > Also, I see you submitted quite a lot of tasks on behalf of the Debian > > QA team.
