I'd suggest a different approach, the motivation for this suggestion is
that I don't believe having inactive mentors is a problem if there is an
active one available. Everyone gets busy occasionally, should we really be
kicking them off a podling when they have already expressed interest? At
next months report they might be the one who is active. They may have been
active in the two months between reports. Etc.

In my opinion there is only a problem if nobody is looking or if the
podling community feels they are not getting the support they need.

I therefore suggest reaching out to the podling rather than passing
judgement on the mentors.
