Minor nit: Gossip already has a website, do you mean expanding? I do like the 
community-building aspect here though.

These are technical aspects that the IPMC likely doesn’t care too much about. 
The IPMC cares more about what the projects needs to do in order to graduate. 
As a mentor, I’d say the top two right now are:

1. Grow the community.
2. Make more frequents releases.

Who is the committer and when were they added (I know, but it is helpful to 
include this information in the report)?

I would just summarize for the current reporting period. E.g. "X/Y issues 
created/resolved in the current reporting period. X/Y in the previous period."

What are the tasks that aren’t accounted for? And what tasks are pending 
release?  The above statements raise questions.
