Whether its code repository lives in Launchpad or Alioth or servers
in the package maintainer's basement is immaterial to the discussion
(well, not entirely if you're talking about participation in
collaboratively-maintained packages, but in that case the group
would standardize on a location anyway). What matters for purposes
of the NM process is the condition of the package as uploaded to
Debian itself, and how the packager deals with bugs filed against
it.

The Mentors repository is just a convenient place to stick packages
for a prospective mentor to retrieve, as a stepping stone to that
package's inclusion in the distribution (and provides some automated
QA to assist with this goal). It doesn't have a lot to do with the
topic of ongoing package maintenance, however... mainly just initial
acceptance by a mentor.
