I also agree that the question is not "dumb", especially not for this
particular team given its nature - but do recall that the current Team
model says that the assignment of team leaders is formally done by the
board: http://www.squeak.org/Community/Teams/

IMHO it is one of the most important jobs of the board and having a
general election mechanism for that seems to me.... not optimal.
