IIRC outreachy has no true concept of "admin" everyone is just a mentor
The need for an admin is more a need from our side as some tasks
(which no mentor tends to feel responsible for) need to be done by
someone

mentor agreement information is at:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/Agreements

i can probably co admin if wanted, but i do not want to be the primary
admin
