Haven't we had that discussion when the mentoring list was launched?
I would not prefer joining a closed list of unknown people over
coming up with a fake name and asking for help in an open list if I
had choice when interacting with an established community as a new
member, but I would understand it if preference of some people are
opposite from mine. The more important part, from my point of view,
is that we offer choices (the proposed doc update illustrates
three).
