I actually hit that button to become a community coordinator without confirming here about the need.

I would be able to help as a community coordinator for this round. I'm not sure about being able to mentor, yet.

That said, I believe both of you would do a great job as coordinators for the Git community. So, if you feel like you both could manage without help, that's totally fine. I'll check on the project list once it's available and explore the feasibility of mentoring :-)
