A project lead implies that somehow his/her vote is more important than anyone else's, which is not how the ASF works.
The idea is to build a community that strives for consensus so that the need for tie-breaking votes isn't required. If half the community thinks A and the other B, then there is for sure no consensus.
How often are these and how do they get resolved? How is a nack by someone resolved if majority are in agreement (ack it)?
Having 3 maintainers does not mean there isn't an overall project
leader. We have around 30 maintainers
in QEMU but only one project leader. The project leader casts the tie breaking vote.
It's the same model as the kernel and many other communities.

Anthony Liguori
