Does the current PTL not have the ability to propose extra-atc's for
this reason?

Would a solution be for zigo to propose the people active in
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/openstack/openstack-pkg-tools.git/
to the governance repo (including himself) and the TC approve it.

This would give an electorate, and give Zigo the right to run as PTL.

I know the timescales would be short - but it might be workable.
