Getting involved in Google Summer of Code through Apache is a good way
to start, as I've mentioned before. You'll need to come up with some
self-contained projects that have value and can be done by a new comer
to the project. Maintaining an up-to-date list of these (use the wiki)
wish-list projects should help. Standard practice is also to describe
these in Jira.
The other half is just outreach. Taverna's been around for a long time,
so you have collaborators and users who you can engage. Hackathons +
hangouts would be one way to engage. You want to get the message out
that Taverna is open for contributions and, more importantly, open for
people to have a full say in the project (as PMC members).

Agreed, we really need to focus on growing the community now.
Any suggestions from mentors on how we should go about that..?

Tldr:
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. First Apache release
2. Finish infrastructue move
3. Growing community
