Mentorship

Mentors can have two roles. By default, they are randomly assigned to newcomers. An option exists for mentors that only want to be mentors to people from events or classes: they don't get any newcomers assigned to them, but they can claim them.

The ideal number of mentors is: one mentor for each group of 500 new accounts, with a minimum of 3 mentors.
