Gerrit doesn't require you to setup PTL for a project. It only requires
to provide some -cores.

As it was mentioned earlier, you can just go with some identified people
with enough bandwidth for reviewing.
If you want to make decisions, the common practice (even with a PTL) is
to do regular IRC meetings , propose a vote and leave ATCs (people
having commits) vote to the majority.

If you consider you need someone for triaging blueprints and setting
priority, that's of course something that a PTL could handle, but how
can he make decisions without getting feedback from the team ? :-)


That said, I truly appreciate that once a project becomes bigger, it
requires some identified people for having the big picture of the
project, if no ATCs can handle the knowledge of something huge enough.
