Martin and I have agreed to team up to serve as backup mentors for each 
others’ projects, in case an OSM iD project and an OHM iD project both 
make the cut.

I only put my name down as an interested mentor for the iD proposals 
that met the requirement of having already contributed something to the 
project. The other ones didn’t met the prerequisites and/or seemed to be 
copy-pasta. Two of the ignored proposals came from an applicant who 
reached out to me ahead of the deadline because they didn’t know making 
a contribution was a prerequisite this year. I gave them the option of 
submitting a draft PR ahead of the deadline so that they could finish it 
before our review, but unfortunately I never saw anything from them.

Let me know if you need any other context or feedback.
