Technically, the PMC Chair is not a leader and his vote counts exactly as the one of any other PMC member. He merely has the burden to take care of a number of post-graduation steps, which I completed during the weekend (except those now being handled by Infra)
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#life-after-graduation
and to act as a liaison officer between PMC and Apache Board.

I don't think we want to encourage anyone to think of making a career as
a professional OpenOffice community manager or anything like that.

Yes, but there are events that we as a project cannot (or at least shouldn't) miss. I tend to agree with Peter's interpretation of this: allow local (for a certain definition of "local": same country, continent...) volunteers to occasionally participate in events or talks to promote Apache OpenOffice there.
