Yes, I like this idea as well. We'd just get an email from launchpad
instead of an email to the bugsquad list. Then we just change the
documentation to request membership of the group, and make all mentors
admins of the group who can accept the person as their mentor by
accepting them into the group.

Then we'd just need some review process of the pending queue to make
sure people haven't been there too long. Perhaps we could review the
pending queue at the BugSquad meetings and encourage mentors to join
the meetings, where they would accept mentees if able.

It sounds like a good process to me, anyway!
