Description
Purpose
Improve comdev website navigation to Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentor resources.
Context
Having been ‘away’ for a few years, this year I decided to make an attempt to re-engage with the GSoC program.
I quickly realized that I was totally out of touch having absolutely no idea where the mentor community conversations were happening (they happen on mentors@community.apache.org) and being hopelessly unable to locate GSoC mentoring documentation via the comdev website.
Thankfully sanyam [pointed me at the documentation|https://lists.apache.org/thread/dqmrwzjogl3sdb2v8s36v8mxf5o1yqsj] and I was able to get back up to speed. Thank you Sanyam 
Challenges
Looking at https://community.apache.org/gsoc/, as of writing, although loads of content exists for students (which is great) no navigation exists to mentor resources.
In my case, this meant that I couldn’t find and entirely missed the excellent content available at https://community.apache.org/gsoc/guide-to-being-a-mentor.html.
Proposal
I think that a “Mentors: read this” Section should be added to https://community.apache.org/gsoc/ which simply hyperlinks to the relevant content from above.
