I am new to Twisted and its community

Welcome, we are happy to have you!

and exploring adding Diameter support.

What is Diameter?

I have experience with Python but as I learn more I realize how little I know. This is my first foray contributing to a real open source project. I'm basically looking for mentors to guide me when I have questions about:

* Async code
* Wiring code to support both Python 2.x and 3.x
* Style guides
* Other things

If dedicated mentors are hard to come by I'd be grateful for this ML to help with answers. Looking forward to working with the community on a great project.

I don't mean to discourage anyone from volunteering - if you get a direct answer from someone else then great :) - but it would probably be easiest for you to begin just by asking questions of the mailing list, and perhaps formalizing a mentorship relationship later. Most twisted core team members tend to be very busy, but the community as a whole does a pretty good job of keeping up with the questions here. Personally I'd love to offer to mentor you, but I am fairly overloaded as it is and would not be able to give you the attention you deserve.

You might want to check this out as a resource to get started on the development process, just to close a few trivial bugs to get the hang of it before starting the larger project of Diameter support:
