When creating Jira please use the word "mentor" instead of "Shepherd" in SPIP

As an active member I am proposing a move to replace the current terminology "SPIP Shepherd" with the more respectful and inclusive term "SPIP Mentor." We have over the past few years have tried to replace some past terminologies with more acceptable ones.

While some may not find "Shepherd" offensive, it can unintentionally imply passivity or dependence on community members, which might not accurately reflect their expertise and contributions. Additionally, the shepherd-sheep dynamic might be interpreted as hierarchical, which does not align with the collaborative and open nature of Spark community.

"SPIP Mentor" better emphasizes the collaborative nature of the process, focusing on supporting and guiding members while respecting their strengths and contributions. It also avoids any potentially offensive or hierarchical connotations.
