For Pure Data, the informal requirement to be a mentor is that you should be well known on the lists, the forums, the IRC, or some other Pd community. It would good to also include people who are involved but not necessarily on the main English online communities. Do you have an interest in being a mentor?
I could see some improvements I would love to see (like uv map support for .obj [model] ) , but I don't have neither the experience/reknown of somebody active in the community for years (although I know and use pd for 3/4 years now on specific projects) nor having dev. specific knowledge of internals pd mechanics ... (although I do have some experience of lead artist in dev. of other specific app. like http://www.woaw.biz - nothing to do with pd - and recent support of the video plugin for blender...). I cannot say "success" in any pd dev mentoring experience... and reading these, I don't feel confident in taking such responsability (again sorry for asking stupid questions).
So it's quite off the basic requirements .... maybe next years if these ones are prolifics for me :)
thanks for all the work you do into this, hope other developpers and students will add to these summer developments, I wish you all the best,

Here's what I wrote in the app:
The mentors were chosen because they all have been informal mentors within the Pd community, and have a proven record of success in that regard. Additionally, here are some other criteria for choosing mentors:
* active community member for at least 2-3 years * strong knowledge in at least one area of Pd * demonstrated willingness to help others on mailing list, forums,IRC * regularly shares code and creates examples for others to learn from
