I think splitting "commits" from "contributions" is a great idea, and when discussing the grading of mentors, the need for such a split becomes even more apparent.
Mentors should be expected to "contribute" more and "commit" less, perhaps make a separate "external contributions" measure that tracks how much people contribute to projects that aren't their own?
Right now, I'm not sure if we have a defacto rubric for mentors, but we are working on adding a Flex requirement to the final grade and mentoring can fulfill that requirement: https://rcos.github.io/rcos-handbook/#/grading/flex
That being said, as someone with three semesters of mentoring experience under my belt and who will be serving as a coordinator in the fall, I definitely understand how hard it is to balance community involvement and project involvement (not to mention the ridiculous courseload of RPI)
This has been requested numerous times, but is pretty hard to get right. PRs welcome.
