Even if they can't, they might know someone who can. I haven't, and I'll accept some of the blame for that, but there are only three team members: gienah, qnikst, and slyfox. All of them are certainly overworked, and the most communication I've had with any of them is a question on IRC or a thanks/thanks exchange on a pull request. It seems a little rude to pop in, address them personally, and ask them each if they'd devote months of their time towards mentoring me. (Doing so can pressure someone into agreeing to something he doesn't want to do, or makes him reject you personally which many people find awkward.)
