Dear Serafeim, I just proposed to simplify the procedures to become a member of the Debian project. But I have good memories of the interactions of my application manager when I was asking to become a Debian Developer. I think that the current NM (New Maintainer) process is a significant investment of time on possible new members. Even if the procedures for membership are changed, the concept could be kept as a mentoring system like the one you propose.
