kdenlive is not the only project lacking developers, believe it or not. :-)

Sure, someone could send a mail to kde-devel at kde.org or post on PlanetKDE
asking for help. But I think that if people were interested in working on
video-editing they would already be doing so.

The point of having mentors is (AFAIK) two-fold; for the students to have
someone to turn to when they get stuck with something they don't understand,
and to make sure students are progressing, evaluating how they're doing. I
don't see how someone not familiar with kdenlive could do this. The other
issue is that those that can mentor would rather mentor for projects they are
already involved with.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean with "strategists" in this context.
