Change in the Mentoring program

[Nicolas Valcarcel]

I like the idea of separating mentoring on 2 stages, and i find nice the
idea of not sponsoring the mentees patches. I know the MOTUs will know when
they are comfortable with the upload, but in the other hand it's common to
think "he has made exactly what i tell him to do, so it must be fine" or to
test and fine a little problem, tell the mentee to change it, and then
assume he has made it without making another mistake, so, if my vote count
(i don't know how it works for non-MOTUs) i will say to apply the 3 changes.
