The money goes to the project, not to individual mentors. Could
you check their FAQ to see if there's any "we're a small project
with no independent legal body to take the $500; what happens to
that money?" question?

We did not.

I hate the wiki, but I guess that might be a good place to put the
ideas page. The wiki page should be protected, and give a link to
the issue tracker as well.

I would list this as a rarely-used channel; virtually all contact
is through lilypond-devel.

Hmm. What's involved for the organization administor?

LGTM

Not certain about this.

-1. Mentors have enough work; none of the work from students
should be critical, so if they abandon it, we'll just keep their
git branch around and/or put the patch in the tracker as
Patch-abandoned.

Sure.

No you don't. $500 goes to the project, not the mentor.
