We typically phrase the last line more like

	remove the reference to the unused mentoring group.

i.e., to give an order to the sources to "become like so".  Also,
the early part contrasted the mentoring group vs the main mailing
list, so "group" would probably be a less confusing reference.

Other than that, looks OK.  The actual change is also good.
