I fail to see any reason not to use mentors.  Any additional effort
is in big danger to become outdated soon if the maintainer of this additional
repository becomes MIA for whatever reason.  I have seen this kind of effort
dying to often in the past to call it reasonable.  Just try to stick to
the existing infra structure as much as possible - it just saves your time.
Mentors + mentioning the package as unofficial package in the tasks files
should do the intended job reasonably well.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
