Mentors, in my opinion, are not responsible for their podlings. They are responsible for guiding the podlings but not for filing.
Mentors do have a responsibility to the IPMC to make a recommendation (e.g. "I've looked into the failure to report and am happy with the status, it's just busy people this month" or "Looks to me like the podling community don't take reporting seriously. As a mentor I've tried but failed to communicate the importance this.") That being said an individual who is both an active member of the projects development community and a mentor is as responsible as any other community member.

Of those, one has failed to file 4 months running, and another two have failed to file for 2 months running. Filing one month late every once in a while is excusable, but two months or more ought to trigger a followup. If it turns out that the Mentors have been reminding the podling to file but nobody's followed through, why not add a comment in the "Mentor comments" section? (That's what Rob Weir did this month -- kudos!) Aren't the Mentors part of the podling community and thus sharing in the responsibility for reporting?
