But being org admin for libvirt since 2013 I've been dealing with both Carol and Stephanie and frankly both of them are awesome and try/tried their best. At every Mentor summit we have a discussion what went well and what we can do better. They collect ideas and put them in practice. And despite your comments I think GSoC has been a great success for libvirt too. We have students coming back, students who stay after program ends and contribute afterwards, students whose code is still used (I just used wireshark dissector the other day).
