I definitely think that new RPers should ideally try to meet experienced RPers half way when it comes to establishing themselves in a new RP setting. That said, I think sometimes it's easy for confident RPers to overlook that not everyone possesses their confidence, and breaking into new communities can be tougher for some people / character types than it is for others.
Some people just have terrible luck and try to break in, but don't get any response from the crowd. So for me, the idea of the list of 'volunteer mentors' or whatever, isn't about encouraging dependence, but rather throwing a lifeline to give people a way in which they can work from.
