Thanks.  You are talking about Pratul Kumar,
https://medium.com/@pratulkumar/gsoc-introduction-to-the-community-ed47e04e3051

Pratul should become an activity maintainer before being trusted to guide
beginner developers to that same goal.

Back on 14th February, when Pratul first mentioned their interest in
the project, I mentioned several risks and gave links to our existing
beginner guides written by Rahul, pipix51, Walter, and I.  These
guides continue to be updated.

Perhaps the mentors might help?  I don't think so.  Mentors that
Pratul met with are Jaskirat Singh, Divyanshu Rawat, Abdulazeez
Abdulazeez and Shivang Shekhar.  None of these are an activity
maintainer.

Perhaps the other mentors might help?  I don't think so.  Wiki page
also mentions Hrishi Patel, Rishabh Thaney and Samson Goddy.  None of
these are an activity maintainer, though Hrishi has had a go at making
changes to Sugar Toolkit documentation.

What will Pratul do about the problem of our collective failure to
maintain Sugar activities?  There's a challenge.  ;-)
