About that, I suppose there is a procedure for accepting new mentors,
but I can't find it. Are they appointed by FAmSCo after years of good
and loyal service ?

I'm not saying that I myself feels suited to be a mentor. :)

However, if the mentorship process is new, and mentors are few, then
they might easily get swamped.

Particularly in LATAM /  EMEA, where we have very active communities,
I'm surprised to see only one / two mentors (and I'm sure there are
competent enough people to fulfill the role).

All I could find is:

However, this seems to relate to the more general Mentors program, not
the Ambassadors mentors:

(the list of people on this page is totally different from the list of
people on the Ambassadors/Join page, so I guess the 2 are not related)
