New ping for mentors and backup-mentors.

According to timeline:
https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2013

March 29: 19:00 UTC	Mentoring organization proposal deadline.
April 1 - 5:	        Google program administrators review organization proposals.

so we have around 1 week to assign new tasks and assign co-mentors
yet, but the sooner we do it the better.

We are still missing backup mentors for the tasks:
* H.264 Multiview Video Coding (MVC)
* Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG)
* Postproc optimizations
* MPEG-4 ALS encoder
* Hardware Acceleration (hwaccel) API v2

Contact the corresponding mentor if you want to help with it.
