Just to pile up on what has already said: 'lead' has a loaded history in the project so is the bestowing of 'title'. That being said, as a team, the notion of coordinator is not offensive per se, and as long as it is a de facto acknowledgement of a actual function and not a de jure title it is perfectly fine imo. But one is such coordinator because he/she is actually 'coordinating' with the approval and agreement of the people being coordinated (no, no need for an election or such.. if you need a formal election it is already a 'fail') This is a natural extension of the meritocratic principle at the core of TDF.
