I don't know if this has already been discussed, but can't we use launchpad to organize this mentorship program? My idea is to have a restricted group called similar to "~ubuntu-bugs-mentorship". All mentors are administrators of this group (directly or via a separate team). People requesting mentorship which do not have a mentor yet are in the "Pending approval" queue. All mentees are approved members of this team. This team should also be subscribed to all bugs a mentee is working while participating in this program, this way it is easy to keep track of what's going on.
