I thought it might be useful to have a hierarchy of 'architects'. If there are 20 architects, then maybe it doesn't seem like such a big deal. (And maybe they shouldn't be called 'architects' but rather 'module owners'.)
Basically, every major piece of WP should have a module owner. For example, gwicke owns Parsoid. Maybe at some point he gets bored and moves on to something else, and names someone else the module owner. (That shouldn't involve any adjustment to WMF salary!)
