In the case of oVirt, the structure is not to consider Board seats to
be a restricted resource - it's OK to add people regularly without
worrying about the growth pattern (as long as it increases over time
rather than the reverse.)

As an example of what is going on right now, the Infra team is working
on being a formal sub-project, which would mean those of us who are
maintainers there (TBD) would be the eventual Board members. But the
formal sub-project pathway is currently only written for code-focused
projects, so we'll need to run some revisions by the Board. Once that
is done, we can be voted on as a sub-project and put in incubation (of
some sort.) Then at e.g. next quarter's (or month's) Board vote, we
might become a full sub-project, thus elevating all maintainers to
Board level.
