Please remember that the role of PMC chair doesn’t have much to do with how much you commit or perform other project tasks. As you will see at https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#chair <https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#chair> the role is more secretarial than anything else. There should be no expectation that the PMC chair is the “leader” of the project although they do have responsibilities that other PMC members do not. That said, if a PMC chair is indisposed another PMC member should be ready to submit the board report in their absence.
You should not be thinking of the PMC chair as being the person who most “deserves” it, but the person who has the time to participate in the other mailing lists and perform the tasks of the job.
