You've actually done it!  Posting to the public mailing list for a 
Python sub-org is exactly how you contact a mentor.  This year, 
Mailman's only running one project, the encrypted lists one, and the 
primary person for that is Stephen, but in general we prefer if students 
ask questions in public so that the community and other students get the 
benefits of answers.  :)

Stephen's given some pretty precise instructions on what he wants in a 
proposal on the mailman ideas page, and as I said we're only planning 
one project this year so it needs to be related to encrypted lists 
unless you can get someone excited enough about another idea that you 
have that they're willing to offer to be a primary mentor for that. 
Anything other than encrypted lists will be a hard sell this year, 
though, since most of us need the time off for regular mailman 
development or other projects!
