I think the orchestration bits have a significantly different functional scope than the rest of the "mgr core" itself, and both may benefit from having different people, with different perspectives and experiences. That will also reduce the load on any one single person too, which is definitely a plus: one person to handle the PTL role for ceph-mgr internals works, with the additional load of more and more modules being contributed; another for the ramping up orchestrator work. That said, I'm very tempted to throw Tim Serong's and Kefu Chai's names into the hat for the "mgr core" PTL role. My perception may be skewed, but they have been involved with the mgr since the beginning, and either one will surely be good addition to its leadership. And while I'm at it, I'll also throw Jan Fajerski's and Ricardo Dias's for the "mgr orchestration" PTL. In this case because they are quite acquainted with deployment and orchestration itself, having been deeply involved in deepsea (Jan has been, additionally, recently involved in rook too), and I'm sure either one of them could offer quite the perspective on common issues and pitfalls. Plus they both have experience working with the community on the mgr side. I just can't find it in me to pick one of the other. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Joao
