:-(. I think much of that stems from the age-old problem of
under-estimating exactly how much time a project will require.

Luis has the advantage of being a past contributor and GSoC student.
Still, it sounds like this one was more work than expected too.

That doesn't help unless we give them both commit access, which isn't
going to happen on the master repo. Ashesh is much higher up in the
queue for that :-)
I would suggest that they both create repos on github (or one of us
does, and gives them access).
