I couldn't agree more...  I have contemplated un-subscribing from this
list several times due to the level of traffic of
mentee-introductions.  While I'm happy and proud that we have that
many people interested in joining the Ubuntu documentation project,
the traffic isn't terribly useful for broadcast on this list.
