Interesting. What sort of mentorship infrastructure? What sort of people are they targeting for mentorship?

I'd love to learn about compilers by working on an actual real world compiler, but I really only know high level details about how different components fit together. I also don't have a formal CS education, although I am currently working as a senior level data engineer. Not sure if that is the sort of person they are looking to mentor.

rust-lang/rust on github, go to issues, and click on the "easy" and/or "mentor" labels. That will show you all the easy tasks with a mentor available.

Just find one that you'd like to work on, write that you are going to work on it, and start doing the work, and asking lots of questions.
