thanks for clarifying - so I'm in fact describing PTL with liaisons above. I thought even with distributed PTL there is still a central figure that is to be held accountable should any of the liaisons be unable to fulfill their responsibilities.

Yep, just to make sure everyone's on the same page about what https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20200803-distributed-project... allows, it's a means of having no PTL at all and instead formally assigning volunteers to at least these duties which a PTL would normally have performed or delegated: Release liaison, TaCT SIG liaison, Security SIG/VMT liaison (also optionally: Events liaison, Project Update/Onboarding liaison, Meeting Facilitator, Bug Deputy, RFE Coordinator).
These are all tasks a traditional PTL can already (and is encouraged to) delegate to volunteers on their team if they are so inclined, the 2020-08-03 Distributed Project Leadership resolution merely recognizes a sanctioned way of doing that without any PTL whatsoever.
