Contributor growth is vital to the health of any open source project. So how do you do it?

The common practice of 1:1 mentoring doesn't scale - takes up a considerable number of resources and forced relationships can be toxic. However, help in finding a mentor continues to be one of the most frequent requests by new contributors.
