But you didn't heard that you should use 'co-mentor' either?
It was meant for consistency, so you can later do some automatic processing
based on "(mentor)".  I don't even know where this string came from: you
probably can't find any references to "approved by co-mentor" neither in
the committer's guide, or in porter's handbook.

I just was surpised to receive no reaction on my first comment both from the
committer and the mentor: the "co-mentor" nonsense has continued to be used.
Maybe I just missed that, but I didn't heard that we allow each new mentor
to invent his own string to put into parenthesis; if it's true, my I'll
ask my next mentee to put something like "master" or "god" in place of
"mentor", just because I like it better, or nobody told me that I shouldn't
do that.
