Ideal would be if Gossip were able to track down original authors and invite them on as committers (even passive) and get a SGA from them. Nevertheless SGA(s) for the contributions to the fork would also be good (although they would also be covered by the Apache license's contribution clause).
Otherwise there also could also be issues with the name Apache Gossip of the original "lives on", so you would have to be prepared to change the name, if needed.
