I think it is mainly me who mentioned trademarks in connection with
debian-foo services, following up Ben's lead. I believe I made a clear
distinction among the *.debian.net and the debian-* case, mentioning
potential trademark (ab)use only in connection with the second case. In
case the distinction was not clear enough, my apologies, it was meant to
be *very* clear.
I believe trademark (ab)use, and possibly enforcement, should have
nothing to do with usage of the debian.net namespace, ever. I see
nothing wrong with cases like mentors.debian.net and I'm sure we will
all agree on that. Even more: mentors.debian.net it's a perfect example
of how to offer an important service to the Debian community, even
during the interim between its creation and its migration to the
official debian.org infrastructure.
Cheers.
