Chris Dent e783b307ea Add a house rule about how to signal appointed PTLs
We've been dealing with how to make appointed PTLs official and
documented in a rather ad hoc fashion: something different each
cycle.

This change provides a house rule which puts the responsibility
and the documentation in the combined hands of the appointed PTL
and the TC that appointed them and not election handling (where
it doesn't make sense since no election happened).

===========================================
2014-11-28 Process for Leaderless Programs
===========================================
Should the nomination period for Program Technical Lead close and any program
subject to the decisions of the Technical Committee not have a minimum of one
eligible candidate identify themselves, the following process will be used to
determine leadership for any program in this situation.
#. Programs without a minimum of one eligible candidate are identified to the
Technical Committee by the Election Officials, before the conclusion of
the election.
#. The Technical Committee can appoint a leader to any programs in this
situation, by mutual agreement of the Technical Committee and the proposed
appointee.
#. The appointed leader has all the same obligations and responsibilities as a
self-nominated elected Program Technical Lead.
