Mentoring an ASF project, formally, requires you to have an ASF commit bit on the project you are mentoring for. However, the act of mentoring is a community effort. Engage with your project community offering your assistance and asking for someone to work with you as the named mentor. If you can find such a person then you are good to go.

However, I'm not currently an ASF committer or member. I'd like to clarify if GSoC mentoring is strictly restricted to ASF committers or can non-committers also volunteer to be mentors or co-mentors? ps: I'm sending to this list as I didn't find a clear answer on https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3a%2f%2fcommunity.apache.org%2fguide-to-being-a-mentor.html.&data=01%7c01%7cRoss.Gardler%40microsoft.com%7c02cbb89e2f8f4a3adf0808d333249a9d%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=5U6Twfl3%2bCz%2fzqXx0ldsCLx%2fxXT%2fkvjGO7Q%2bvoW0qJo%3d Thanks, Paulo
