It's called the Gossip model because the first client to implement this procedure is named Gossip. It's modeled after that particular client. I'm never going to stop calling it the Gossip model unless relays themselves implement a gossip protocol. You're welcome.
We really should switch to "inbox/outbox model" or something, gossip is a pretty important concept we shouldn't overload

Right. But names have a mind of their own and stick sometimes. Like naming a server they doesn't relay anything a "relay".
Yeah. I guess this is how language evolves over time
