Ok, I should be able to be a mentor. Besides solr integration are there
other ideas for the project? Also is it too late?

I believe a couple of hours every week should be enough. Last year, I
signed up as a mentor for OSVDB and we managed to get some useful job
done. However, I hardly spent any time for the whole project. Though a
few people sign up us a mentor but it is mostly a community effort.
The students interact with the community and his assigned mentor
through the mailing list and since the whole community is there to
guide him, there is not much of a burden on the mentor.
