We have got the first scenario pretty well covered, by the other two simply not. When it comes to project graveyard, we can provide facilities to mark projects as dead and we can mark them as such by periodically checking bug tracker for changes (issues getting resolved etc.).
 
I see, I suoppse that would have to be the case.
==== Mentor experience ====
 
This is the area that OpenHatch definitely needs to improve on. Glyph pointed out that from his point of view:
* Experienced users do not want to create yet another project page
* Experienced users want to get contributors involved and maybe mentor people
* '''Want to find people who clicked 'I want to help' button and get them going'''
 
The last point is crucial. We need a way for mentors/project maintainers to easily manage new contributors. By ''manage'' I mean:
* Contact them on-site
* Provide them with information required to get started (''Build helper''!)
* See who is working on what (e.g. assign new contributors to bite-size bugs on OpenHatch)
* Provide them with feedback and guide them to become fully-pledged contributors
 
What works:
* ''I want help'' button. We need to promote it more!
 
Features that they most likely will not use:
* Recommended bugs
