Other members have also contributed in important ways, by doing massive amounts of reviews (Sean Dague, Michael Still, Kevin Mitchell) or taking on specific areas of functionality (Devananda Van Der Veen, Daniel Berrange, Chris Behrens).

Yes, I think Nova needs to be run by a small group (1-4) of very active
lieutenants (nova-drivers group ?), potentially split along functional
lines, with the PTL having the duties to keep a global view, updated
roadmaps and do release meeting reports. To compensate for that, the PTL
gets the right to make final calls when one needs to be taken (+ a free
TC seat).
