Most open source projects assign specific mentors to specific
students. Our project just doesn't bother. Our whole community
"mentors" our students, it's just how we work.
So, if you look at the SoC webapp, only fitz and I are actually listed
as 'mentors', but it doesn't really mean anything at all. There's no
need to "sign up"... just mentor the students when they start posting
to our list.
