Today I was asked once more off list how to achieve that mentor status.

I was thinking that one of the standards, milestones or proof of being
ready to be mentor may be that the ambassador has conducted one
workshop (live or IRC) of ambassadors tips and training. There has
been three or four of such workshops on fedora-class room. I think
that this is not a full anwser, and do not solve all the questions
raised around this topic. But it may be one point among others to
discuss.

Something along the line... "If you feel ready to face a bunch of
people to tell them how to conduct as ambassador, and also reply
inreal time any question they may have about that, then you are
getting closer to be candidate to be mentor"

I am offering this as suggestion, to be part of a more complex
explanation of the people/soft skills expected from ambassadors who
takes this extra work.

best regards
