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.
