[gentoo-project] Clarify language of GLEP 39

[Doug Freed]

GLEP 39 currently states that "[A project] may have one or many leads"
(Specification section, first list, last item).  I believe (and a few
others agree) that this language is ambiguous,  Some projects have
interpreted this language to mean that a project may have no lead,
while others believe the language is to be interpreted as meaning that
projects must have at least one lead.  Therefore, I request that the
Council clarify the language of GLEP 39 to remove this ambiguity.  I
offer up the following choices as possible replacements (though feel
free to come up with your own):

"It must have at least one lead, and may have many leads.  The leads
are selected by the members of the project.  This selection must occur
at least once every 12 months, and may occur at any time."

OR (if the Council wishes to allow no lead as an option)

"It may have no lead, one lead, or many leads, and the leads are
selected by the members of the project.  This selection must occur at
least once every 12 months, and may occur at any time."

(The slight change in wording in otherwise unaffected parts is to
avoid repetitive use of "and" in one sentence.)  The reason for the
ambiguity in the first place is that the English language allows you
to apply the "may" to the collective "one or many leads," which would
make any lead optional.  Others consider it to just be a choice
between "one lead" and "many leads," which is also a valid
interpretation.

I believe that the original intention was that every project would
have a lead (indeed, in GLEP 4, which GLEP 39 replaced, every project
had a manager, which is the equivalent), but I don't speak for the
authors of GLEP 39.  It is my personal opinion that every project
should have a lead.  The lead serves to resolve disputes among project
members, coordinate project effort, and be the point of contact
between the project and the rest of Gentoo, all on an as-needed basis.
