I don't really see how managing the release-specific bits of the project 
as a 'release steward' is different from a release cross-project 
liaison. Nova has a release CPL (really more than one probably informally).

I do think it's a bit weird that I've already slotted the Ocata design 
summit rooms for Nova when someone else could be PTL, but I don't think 
what I'd reserve would be drastically different from someone else in 
Nova, this is why we have trust relationships and talk about stuff as a 
team.  There was a lot of overlap from Michael to John and from John to 
myself and we've shared responsibilities during those transitions.

The release steward concept just seems like unnecessarily complexity and 
formality to me, but that's just my opinion. Things might work 
differently in other projects.
