IIRC the discussion was not so much about how to choose and screen mentors but what we recommend projects how to handle their student's access to SCM.
In the past we allowed every committer to be a GSoC mentor. This is only problematic with past students that still have Apache accounts but have never been voted in as committers. So we either have to restrict mentors to be PMC members or PMC-approved or make sure that we can identify temporary accounts created for GSoC students. I personally favor the second option and would suggest that we ask infra to create a gsoc-student group that gsoc students are members of. This would come with a policy that account requests for GSoC students must state that this is not for a committer but for a student.
