This was my doing.  And, TBH, I don't think I considered other options
very seriously, although I haven't searched my email archives.  (I may
not have email archives but maybe someone else does.  The discussion
was probably on d-devel.)

Nowadays I think 1 year is still right.  If the existing DPL is doing
a good job and wants to continue, they normally get re-elected.  Our
election campaigns don't seem to be too much of a distraction.  And
even a 1 year DPL term is a big commitment.
