A wiki page might be a little bit of a barrier (and we'd have to find
it), but adding it to their LP profile seems good because we'd end up
there anyway when checking out potential mentees. We could say
something like "If you are looking for specialized mentorship such as
for specific packages or aspects of triage, please add them to your LP
profile" and give an example like "BugSqaud mentorship interests:
upstreaming bugs". This way if someone simply wants a generic mentor,
all they have to do is ensure they have their location set in LP and
apply to the group. But, they can also edit their profile description
to contain specialized information that mentors would see.

Once we converge on all of this I'd be happy to help update the wiki page.
