Hi,
(Cc:'ing TAILS development list as I feel we all shall be part of this
discussion.)

Thank you for this proposal, this is much appreciated.
On the other hand, even our Debian Live -related project has roots and
goals that are very much TAILS-specific, so I wonder how someone who
is not a TAILS developer would be fit for mentoring it. Detailed
specifications of our project's actual goals will not be sufficient to
provide the kind of mindset we need for implementing things for TAILS
context; part of the mentoring task as I see it will be to help the
mentee(s) acquire this mindset for the time of this project.
On the other hand, one mentor coming from a TAILS background, and
another coming from a Debian Live background could be quite
complementary.
At the end of the day, I just don't know.

This seems great to me :)
