Accountability for what? Do you really envision that after a bunch of
us pouring through applications and choosing them, that somehow a
student is going to get ignored? That s/he is going to post to the
list for help and feedback, and get no reply?

If this were Subversion's first time in SoC, I think your worry might
be justified. Maybe. But we have empirical evidence disproving that.
  But what we did last year worked swimmingly well, so why fix what
ain't broke?
