Two things:

One, This is not PPA, there wont be anything PPA after it is done. But
it is one pre-req for our PPA (where we have a very much developed
implementation plan already, just not coded).

Two: Backup Mentors are fine, though I'm not sure how much of a help
they turn out in this specific case. It *is* very dak centric after all,
unfortunately. Of course if it means I get two more people that know dak
code and supply patches (hint hint) I'm all for it.

Besides, Ansgar has an advantage here as a mentee - he is integrated in
the ftp team already. Has written lotsa dak code. He knows his ways and
is in all the secret channels, so even if i wont reply right away with a
dak question, there is the whole rest of ftp team. Unlike the last we
had, who was a total outsider, which turned out to actually be bad in
this area.

I've signed up and said I want to mentor this now.
