[Janelle and Helena — every month 1 person from Council is the “ticket triage” person. This person pays attention to new or otherwise unassigned tickets (actually called “issues”) on GitHub, and assigns them to one or more Council members; might also assign labels and milestone to each. This month I am the ticket triager.] IIRC at our last meeting we did not decide on mentors for our new members, instead deferring that decision to January. Does that mean I should not assign tickets to Janelle and Helena, either? My instinct is that I should go ahead and assign tickets to our new members now (so as to avoid forgetting or having unassigned tickets; besides, one of them requires a native Spanish speaker :-), with the understanding that until they have each gone through some orientation with their mentor next month, there is no expectation of actually tackling the tickets yet. As soon as they are ready, the tickets would be waiting for them, though. Any objections?
