The PTL is much more influential than a TC member. The PTL has ultimate
(and *unshared*) say on what happens over his project. He takes precise
day-to-day technical decisions, and can do all by himself.

Comparing that to just one vote on a committee of 13 members that
address cross-project issues and express their opinion on a handful of
issues every 6 months... I'm pretty sure it's clear what position ends
up being more influential.
