The difference (as I see it) is that LT's have a dictator above them,
while mentor's do not. Also everyone can be a mentor if he so chooses,
but LT is a more formal role (unless we want to formalize the mentor
role?). IMO, with a small (active) group of developers it doesn't make
a lot of sense to me to use too many formal sub-roles. But please
correct me if I am wrong.
