I appreciate all of those things but it sounds like you are talking about LoCo leaders rather than LoCo contacts: these are rather different principles. I feel that certainly teams should be able to decide whether or not they should be lead by an individual, by a council, or not at all. However the contact fulfils a different role - as an identifiable point of contact for Canonical in relation to requesting CDs or for the wider community to get in touch with that team.
