Gentle reminder that the ideas list needs completion. Specifically, the following ideas only list Patrick as a potential mentor:

   - Refactoring in order to reduce Git’s global state

   - Machine-Readable Repository Information Query Tool

The following idea mentions Karthik and Patrick as potential mentors.

   - Implement support for reftables in “dumb” HTTP transport

The following idea mentions Jialuo and Patrick as potential mentors.

   - Consolidate ref-related functionality into git-refs

It would helpful if you all could chime in to let me know if the existing allocation is fine and to what other projects you need to be mentioned as potential mentors.
