Why not? What do you think is the right solution?

I can see a number of alternatives:

* a pope that has the leadership role. We had Jim, but the pope's 
resting. We could institute a new pope. Who?

* a small team of people, let's say 2 to 5 that takes on that leadership 
role, sharing some of the burden and representing a slightly wider range 
of interests. A steering group.

* a voting system. The current system of +1 or -1 from anybody who 
bothers to reply isn't very effective in my experience; in any 
controversial discussion the opinions are so mixed nothing tends to 
happen, or alternatively people just avoid discussions and do things 
without discussions. Solutions proposed that are harder to understand 
might get ignored.
