Having seen examples of different situations in private, having been
GSoC admin twice and also having been in various representative
positions where people come to me with grievances I feel comfortable
making that statement from experience.
It is also potentially quite a strain on somebody to do AH or any
welfare-oriented role properly. I would hate to see the AH team make a
mistake with somebody because they have multiple demands on their time,
especially the demands of GSoC deadlines.
It can be quite rewarding if you succeed in earning people's trust on
all sides and achieving win-win outcomes but even when you get the best
possible outcome in a dispute, you can still go away feeling drained.
