Just to clarify: last year we were co-mentoring with Ram. I ended up
having a lot of time and did most of the work (not blaming Ram, and I
enjoyed the experience). I'm still motivated to co-mentor, but this time
the co-mentoring has to be more balanced (or unballanced to the other
mentor ;-) ).

Yes, but who is your co-mentor this year? :)

From your list, it seems we can target 1 or 2 slots. I'd say it's still
worth applying, but if we don't find more mentors then perhaps it would
make sense to say so explicitely in
http://git.github.io/SoC-2015-Ideas.html so that students looking for
organization know that we'll have very few slots.

I don't mind doing 1 slot if that's what we have resources for. But if
we have to say "eh, we do not really have enough mentors to support
you", then I wonder if it is worth doing.  They do not know how many
people have applied, or how tight the competition is.
