A mentor system is mentioned here:
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/contributor/mentors
Unfortunately it does not address how one goes about finding such
a mentor.

Exactly like you did: ask on the list! ;-)
That document is a bit out of date, since the person
who was organizing mentorship (Graham) is no longer
a contributor. These days, we don't have official
leadership; development is more like an open venue
where people are free to coordinate however they
want, and project-wide decisions are consensus-based.
If you want to contribute, that's great. Be sure
to set up your environment as described on
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/contributor/working-with-source-code
Then, it's best to start with simple tasks, to get
acquainted with the structure of the code and our
contributing process. There are a lot of easy issues
in the tracker at GitLab:
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues
I'm a contributor, not a developer, and if you want a
formal mentor you'll have more luck with someone else.
That being said, be free to contact me off-list if
you feel the need to -- even though, most of the
time, it's best to keep communication public so
all can pitch in.
Best,
Jean
