For example, the Apache OpenOffice.org Podling has no chair. The creation of the monthly report has been undertaken as a community effort, although it seems to be a variant of launch-pad chicken (falling on whoever thinks the deadline is too close and it is time to put something up there for other PPMC members to review and amend).

Otherwise how does the Incubator PMC >> ensure that podlings report on time? That is what the mentors are for. AFAIK there is no Chair role for PPMCs. Electing one is typically done when the board resolution is written. Usually the person picking up the tab of writing the reports and instigating committer votes is the person to be picked as the Chair. Assigning a Chair role in a podling while incubating probably is a bad idea as it invites BDFL proliferation...
