I'm willing to help mentor some work.  I'd really like to mentor with
some other people -- especially at the application review stages -- I do
have more time for day-to-day mentoring if that's done on IRC (Interrupt
Driven Design, anyone ;-)  But so far, my knowledge of the mailman codebase
is limited mainly to archiver stuff.

I can answer questions about using bzr and some launchpad questions
(although I also have lots of launchpad questions of my own :-).  I'm now
fully versed in Warsaw import style rules although I should probably
recertify at the next pycon :-)

It does seem like there's a lot of interest in archivers this year (at
least, people have been pinging me about that.  Since archivers for mailman3
are somewhat in their infancy, it would be good to think of a "what do we
want the state of archivers to be after the summer and a year from now" so
that we can make sure that GSoC work fits into that.
