Nick, if you get accepted in a program like google summer of code, you will get a mentor (that's how I got started). I don't know the odds of that happening because you don't have a good reputation in the kernel. Look for a program like gsoc and apply.
Another option is looking for someone in real life to mentor you.

Why will anyone want to waste their time to mentor you??? And you are
asking the maintainers to adjust their busy schedule just to mentor
you ?? why ? who are you ??
Please dont bug this list with your requests to mentor you or with
such questions , answers to which can be easily found on google .
