Should we appoint one of the mentors at the start to be the "chair" of the 
PPMC, in the same way as a full project? I would see them as responsible for ensuring the

Most incoming projects have leaders.  One challenge of incubation
is teaching the leaders to let go of the reigns, that there is no
room for a BDfL at the ASF.  So a chair during that period would
probably be counterproductive.

What you describe sounds like the role of a recording secretary.
Yes, I think it's good if the project identifies one of its peers
as the individual who is currently preparing the podling's report.
Of course the podling could rotate the job, too.
