The most important thing is that you recognize that this is a real time investment. It's not just a case of exchanging a few emails with the student -- you're going to need to dedicate time to helping them through their ideas, plans, and coding. If you're able to do that, I see no reason why you'd have to be an OpenStack core reviewer. We should obviously co-ordinate who's doing what though, so that everyone gets the best out of it.
