The governing structure for OpenStack projects has long been for a Project Technical Lead (PTL) to be elected to serve as a singular focus for that project. While the PTL role varies significantly from project to project, the PTL has many responsibilities for managing the development and release process for a project as well as representing the project both internally and externally. There have been a number of projects that have expressed an interest in functioning in a mode that would not require a PTL, but would rather devolve the responsibilities of the PTL into various liaison roles, that could in turn be held by one or more contributors. This topic was discussed by the TC at the recent virtual PTG, and we now have a proposal to put forth to the community for comment. Jean-Phillipe Evrard and I worked up a more detailed proposal for everyone to comment on and review. We are calling this the 'distributed project leadership model'. Most importantly, this is an opt-in process where projects interested in pursuing a distributed project leadership model should opt in to it, but for projects satisfied with the status quo nothing would change. I encourage everyone who is interested to examine the proposal and comment: https://review.opendev.org/744995 Thank you, Nate Johnston
