I agree that we need some mentors as well. Who would be interested
in creating a mentioning page? <br>

While I do agree that we need mentors, I'm not sure if we should
assign specific mentors to new contributors. Since it seems there
are enough people willing to mentor, why wouldn't we simply
encourage people to join #ubuntu-doc (or write to the mailing list)
ask ask away their questions?<br>

<div>The next important criteria for mentors is commitment and
availability, so that both the mentors and their apprentices can
help each other throughout the process. Mentorship should not be
sporadic, but ideally last throughout an entire development
cycle.<br>

<br>
Mentorship that lasts throughout a cycle (or any other pre-specified
timeframe) can be a pro for the mentoring cycle, but as you implied,
it can be tough to find (enough) people who are willing to commit to
help one or two people for six months.<br>
<br>
I, personally, am not willing to make such commitment at this point.
On the other hand, I'm usually quite active on IRC and always
willing to help people when they need a hand.<br>

<div>Here is one good example of a page that lists out members.
We can model the idea around this page.</div>
