I’m happy to collect ideas like this when we review how to structure the 2014 election round. There are many more options for rule changes and more time for debate. I think it will also require a membership vote (according to 9.2).

The Python Software Foundation is organized similarly around focused committees with one member (not necessarily a board member) appointed by the board to lead. For example, I served for 2 years as Communications Director, building up a small group of people to help disseminate foundation news through the blog, wiki, and mailing lists.
