In my opinion it does not matter who it is.  but it has to be someone the 
project trust. And the decision of the desktop has to be taken after having 
consulted all the relevent person for the specification within the desktop. 
And we need someone that know who works on what, and will take care of 
broadcasting the announce of the spec to the right people.

Also, I don't see what's 'wrong' when two poeple from the same project 
disagree.  That happens very often. KDE and Gnome are big project with lots of 
people with different opinions.  It is true that it is probably much easier to 
get consensus within a single desktop than between desktop, but still, 
conflicts happens.
