This seems a good way to distribute the PTL overload but I am thinking
what if more than one would like to server as PTL for the cycle or whatever
period we decide. I am not sure we will have this case in the current situation
where almost all projects are without-election but still we should have some
mechanism ready. 

Another idea I think about co-PTLship. I remember in previous or this
cycle few projects want to have the co-PTL concept. Means officially have
more than PTL. To solve the single point of contact issue we can have
single PTL contact and other co-PTL distribute the responsibility for that cycle.
