Don't plan on any for yourself; you're too busy already with the 2.5
release and with managing the mentors.

Isn't that covered in one of the SoC FAQs? It does mention you need a
Google account. (I have to admit I couldn't find a login link but
perhaps that's because I am always logged in to gmail.)
The PSF (you) needs to create a page (in the wiki is fine) with
instructions for mentors, and make sure that is linked to from the
code.google.com/soc/ page as "(ideas)" after our name, just like the
Perl foundation. The PSF (you; or I'll do it if you write some text
for me) should also start advertising for mentors on python-dev,
python-3000, and perhaps even on c.l.py. There is a lot of competition
on that page now -- the list of mentoring orgs has at least doubled
since Friday!
