Give or receive 1 hour of coding help in 2015

I'm a little confused, do they provide any way in which to give an hour of programming help? I don't know anybody who's interested in programming IRL but I would happily help someone having a trouble with something programming related

After registering, it gives you this message which says they'll help match you up with a mentee:

"Thanks for pledging to mentor! You’ll receive an email with more information about how to fulfill your pledge in early 2015, once we’re ready to match mentors with mentees!"

I'm with you. Is this just some stupid form I fill out for no reason? Or is it going to actually help match me up with people? It might be answered in the video, but I shouldn't have to watch a video to figure out what the point of a web site is.

This is a 2015 New Year's Resolution, so the matchmaking doesn't kick-in until 2015. The purpose of the form is to accumulate a list of mentors and mentees who are committing to this pledge.
