Igniters, I'd suggest 2 candidates who perfectly fit this role, in my opinion:
Nickolay Izhikov - one of the most active community member with the significant contributions, Ignite's evangelist and tech-speaker. Alexey Goncharuk - Ignite's veteran, one of the Ignite's code-base expert with the project's architecture vision. I hope they would like to be PMC Chair!)
