Mentors shouldn't try to submit the report unless they can actively speak of the developer community from a participant standpoint. When I look at gossip's commit history [1], it seems like it's just a case of being a low volume core internal library. Not very visible, would probably be fine to graduate as a TLP with minimal PMC, but that assumes they stay active enough to keep 3 binding votes together and get reports out quarterly.
