It can indeed be though to find someone with time. But there are
certainly people that do have time and are willing to mentor; it's just
that, you've got to find each other at the right time and place.

Which makes me think we should have some way to list people that are
willing to become Gentoo Developers as well as Gentoo Developers that
are willing to mentor people. Perhaps on the Gentoo Wiki?

That would turn the easy to miss "anyone want to mentor me?" or random
probing "do _you_ want to be my mentor?" into an approach where it's a
matter of looking at a list, contacting someone and you are set.
