One form of mentoring would be to _not_ have the core folks fixing
the easy
bugs. Throw those to the newbies with some pointers at where to look.
Eventually newbies get more and more experienced, and old-guard folks
get more
available time to work on hard issues.
I'm not saying this doesn't happen right now -- I don't know
enough to make
that determination :)
