You cannot add mentors on a bug, you can however ask on irc, mailing lists or
other resources. To get the code you can run:

pull-lp-source package

On this case: pull-lp-source nautilus

There exist a guide at:

http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html

Which explains how to use bazaar, pbuilder, and other related tools which are
useful when fixing bugs.

Hope you find it useful. Cheers
