I would mentor one student. I prefer students to submit a couple of patches before they get commit access. Whether it makes sense to work on trunk or a branch depends on the task, I suppose. No way to decide yet. I would tend to prefer having students work on trunk, though. They get to have more interaction with the community that way (e.g. by breaking the build :)
