Mentors don't need to know the problem domain.

The most important quality of a mentor is outstanding communication skill=
s.

The second most important quality is knowing when to be diplomatic, and
when not to be diplomatic.

The third most important qualities are:
* How to anticipate potential issues;
* How to solve problems;
* How to resolve points of difference;
* How to guide a group into following _The Apache Way_;
* Teaching the project how to solve problems;

The legacy of a good mentor, is a project that anticipates potential
issues, and solves them, without ever realizing that they have done so.
