True, doing any such cross project work  does not or should not require to be TC. And i do not think anyone has objection on this statement. 

Yes, recruiting the people is the key things here and TC can play the ownership role in this. I am sure having more and more people involved in such cross project work will surly help to find the new leaders. There are lot of contributors, who might have bandwidth but not coming up for cross project help. Such initiate from TC can help them to come forward.  And any other cross project work lead by non-TC will always be great example for TC to encourage the other contributors for such activity. 

But key point here is, if there is no one stepped up for priority cross project work(much needed for openstack production use case) then, TC can play role to find/self owner for that work.
