I took a loot at GSoC FAQ [1] but indeed there's no specifically
requirement for mentor. I think a mentor is who in charge of to help
the student to find out solution for problems, supervise the project's
progress and (maybe most importantly) write GSoC mid-term and final
report for the project. Also, the mentor will be paid $500 for these
work.

Boost maybe applied as a mentor organization in GSoC, and then mentors
attached to the organization. For every project a mentor is allocated
by Boost's administrator, (and maybe one more backup mentor is
allocated). So there should be an individual mentor to responsible for
this project.
