I feared I would get no volunteer, so I sure won't say no ! I just want to 
wait a bit just in case there would be several volunteers, but I'm really glad 
you proposed your help :)

Those already exist but need to be maintained because they're often out of 
date :  http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packages_mentoring

But this page must not be the only place where you should look for 
apprentices. IIRC the standard procedure is to create a mentoring request on 
bugzilla (or is it only to ask for an account ?), and we must not forget those 
who ask in the mailing lists.

This would be great yes.

I don't know if this is needed in your "job", because AFAIK each mentors 
decides alone when his apprentice is ready.

Best regards
