Definitely having committers serve as listmods is better than Mentors. Nobody is moderating messages from subscribers. The job of mailing-list moderators is mostly to approve messages from non-subscribers and occasionally to deal with list-related administrivia. A common fail I've seen after graduation is for queued messages to get lost because Mentors were the only moderators and they've drifted away. Having core contributors serve as listmods generally avoids that problem.
