That would be great. In fact I meant to add that if I mentor one of those 
things, then due to my inexperience with those specific projects, it would 
be perfect if there were an "inside man" (ideally the project's primary 
maintainer(s) or at least someone intimately familiar with the project), 
that could act as a "sub-mentor" of sorts, or really I guess a "technical 
contact": Ie, not a formal mentor, but reliably available for under-the-hood 
questions about the project and getting up-and-running with it.

Of course, I'm new to the whole GSOC thing, so I don't know if that even 
makes any sense...? Maybe that *is* a key aspect of the mentor's role in the 
first place? But from the GSOC docs, I get the impression that the mentor 
role is much more than that.
