I don't think that'll work. It can run that way *most* of the time but
sometimes, when push comes to shove, everyone must have agreed upon a
single person beforehand to put his foot down and keep things
moving. It's necessary. 

As for fame/shame, it's not a matter of credit or censure. It's an
operational decision. 
Either you have a completely distributed thing where there's nothing
really driving the thing except good will and interest (which might not
always be sustainable) or you have a willing group led by a person and a
bunch of lieutenants (organically and informally selected) to keep the
show going. I think the is more efficient, practial and reliable than
the former.
