The answer is simply that it doesn't yet exist.
It is not a Google requirement and many organizations don't use one.
It has been recommended, however, by many others.
We have a few choices:
1. Cook one up ourselves.
2. Borrow a FLOSS or public domain test but not announce what it is.
That's all I can think of. I can assist on the second item but not
the first.
When it was talked about, the plan was to use
easyfix.fedoraproject.org as an entry point for bugs to fix that would
allow the mentor to assess the candidate
