Although not the intended use of that space, I don't think there is anything
prohibiting you from doing this at the moment.  The current guidelines are
at

Perhaps RPM Fusion would make it more accessible to end users but that is
just a recommendation.

I think it would be more constructive to assume goodwill than malice.  When
someone volunteers to act as a mentor, it is upto them to decide what they
are comfortable with.  I don't think generalizing this as malice for all
mentors is useful.
