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.
