At the time these features were implemented, there were far fewer ways to recognize the contributions of these mentors.
UFH did a fantastic job introducing many outstanding but lesser-known mentors (including many who are now pretty much legendary for their contributions to the world of competitive educational robotics*). There were also multiple active CD members that volunteered to oversee the administration behind the scenes, but this is no longer. Now there are many programs and endeavors that have effectively replaced this type of recognition.
They served their purpose. It's time to go.
*In today's world they call this legendary listing "the IFI company directory".
