People interested in mentors have to put a template on their user page in order to be found. That would be a nice solution on Commons, too. Especially when people have to be active to get a mentor, you avoid all the zombies wasting your time.

Go for it. The worst that happens is that noone uses it, and we are back where we are now. The best that happens is people who want help get it and the community grows.
I suggest that if you do set it up, you should add some mention of it to the standard welcome template to draw it to the attention of those most likely to want to use it.
