I'm glad someone from the "PTL+5" camp spoke up! In my mind, the PTL is responsible for moving their individual OpenStack sub-project forward. The technical committee is responsible for OpenStack as a whole, and making sure that the individual projects are advancing OpenStack in the right direction.
In other words, I see the PTLs' responsibilities as more day-to-day operations (code reviews, blueprints etc), whereas the Committee should be concerned with the technical vision and strategy (e.g. what overall features should be part of the N+2 release and do we need e.g. to add new projects to get there?) To use a startup analogy, I see the PTLs as "Director of Engineering" and the technical committee as "CTO". Just as different people fill those roles in a company, I probably wouldn't vote the same way. Obviously some people would be good in both roles, but we shouldn't mandate that the two be linked. In particular, we shouldn't exclude someone from being a PTL because they wouldn't be a good "CTO". There are also other issues with PTL+5 IMHO (e.g incentivizing the Balkanization of OpenStack), but at core I see the two roles as being very different.
