The timeline at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2012says March
6th is the "[GSOC] Mentoring organization application deadline".
 How do you interpret "mentoring organization" there?  As the PSF or
someone under their umbrella such as statsmodels or mpl?

I went ahead and filled out the mentor application form that Nicolas
pointed me to as "John Hunter" and use matplotlib.sf.net as the website.
 Perhaps a few other MPL devs willing to mentor  should do the same just to
be on the safe side.
