I agree in principle, but it's hard to get people to update the list at all, much less doing so every year.
FWIW, I'm available to mentor any of the "infrastructure" projects and at least co-mentor any of the mathematics projects. Some of the mathematics projects are "moonshot" projects that we will almost never get someone to do, but it's worth leaving them there just in case IMO (for example, Karr algorithm). > The list of mentors has a similar issue, people may not remove their name > from the list, but if they want to mentor they would add their name to a > blank list. I agree with this too in principle, but the problem is also that if we did that, almost no one would go through with updating the page. If we don't list any potential mentors, Google won't accept us as a mentoring org. Probably a better solution here would be to remove anyone who wasn't active in mentoring (or at least application reviewing) last year, and require those people to re-add themselves if they are interested.
