I can probably spend some time (perhaps around 4 hours / week) on mentoring, especially for new researchers that want to contribute to the learning-theoretic research agenda or its vicinity. However, I am not sure how to make this known to the relevant people. Should I write a post that says “hey, who wants a mentor?” Is there a better way?
Important not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. There’s almost certainly a better way to find mentors, but this would be far better than not doing anything, so I’d say that if you can’t find an actionable better option within (let’s say) a month, you should just do it. Or just do it now and replace with better method when you find one.

Off-the-cuff: I think making that post is probably good. In the longterm hopefully we can come up with a more enduring solution.
