I believe that while a podling is getting organized (first three months) it's unlikely that they will "get" reporting, and during that time, the mentors must step up and show the way.

But I agree that one or more of the podling community needs to want to take on the responsibilities of chairing the PMC ultimately, and should not depend on the mentors. One of the criteria for graduation should be the readiness of the PPMC to become a PMC with all the reporting that that involves.
