Mentoring sounds like a good addition to the umbrella topic of 
welcoming, so +1 to adding it.

The IDCG subpage "Welcoming" has a lot of sub-actions and details. 
https://github.com/w3c/idcg/wiki/Making-W3C-More-Welcoming

Do you want the headline-level sub-actions (now including mentoring) 
also showing up under the "Welcoming" topic on the main page as well?

That could be very helpful for IDCG participants and the public skimming 
IDCG's action ideas to see what's in progress.

And/or did you mean listing this directly in the proposed statement?
