Hi Aditya, I went through and mopped up a lot of the outstanding 'beginner' issues as part of the 0.13.0 release cycle. Sorry there isn't much there for you.
My time is limited, but I think I can do a mentorship. Please email me directly, I'd like to have a quick conversation to make sure our expectations are aligned. Following that, I will submit the paperwork required on my end to become a mentor. To answer your question, I believe you need to submit your application to the ASF or to Google, I think its Google. You'll need to do some research on your end to figure out which steps exactly need to be taken on your side. Sorry, I haven't been more on this- again, blaming working on 0.13.0 release. Best wishes, and thank you for your interest.
