I think the point is that Apache projects are between peers and no one in the community is THE leader. Everyone leads and everyone follows. If someone is singled out then the others including people joining later may not understand the fit.
This community has a lot of experienced Apache members so I am less concerned. Having someone be the volunteer that writes reports can be good, but from my short experience on the Board the best reports are written by the community in concert. What is really wanted is a description of how the community is doing, how it is growing (or not) and is there anything that the Foundation can do to help overcome any challenges that are being faced.
