The leader is someone who's a public front but also someone who we acknowledge
as having an idea of direction. Since the Leader's proposals don't require
sponsors, they carry a little more force than a technical committee proposal
(which would require the approval of "a" committee) or a Individual Developer
(which would require 5 sponsors). Also, the Leader's responsible for creating
and staffing things like ftpmaster, listmaster, Project Secretary's position,
the Technical Committee (in certain circumstances), New-Maintainer's group and
such... not that many of these *need* active attention, as people tend to flow
into the voids that come up. Oh, and they're supposed help guide the
discussions that go on around proposals and such....
And ofcourse... they are a major focus for PR.....
