I was wondering does anybody know if it's possible to have more than one 
mentor for a project/application? OR if more than one person applies to 
mentor, how it is later decided?

I'm not sure what you mean here - surely if someone says they would be 
willing to mentor and then later decides that they are not, that it would 
reflect very badly on OSGeo? (Unless I supose there is another fall-back 
mentor for that particular application...)
