" The problem we've been having revolves around the fact that we have dozens of developers working on Nova, with no real guidance as to the
long-term direction of the project, and teams just doing whatever the heck they want to, without ML discussion and blueprints, and then expecting people to just merge branches a few days before feature freeze." I have high hopes that the newly elected PTL’s will provide the guidance and leadership to get more effective in developing OpenStack projects.

Open development means knowing the general directions and specifications that people are working on by open discussions, open blueprints/specs, and active communication between teams. I can go to github and see how many people "forked this" (ugh.). That doesn't give me any clue as to what people are attempting to do with the code in the long term.
