My opinion is - start writing the code and you'll be the leader of your own fork.
People will like it - people will form a team with you, will send patches, etc.
Vote is useless with no code. Boss with brilliant ideas and no coding skills is useless too.

I think this is how it works with a lot of startup projects and some
offshoot forks (that are often short-lived and completely useless),
which have no established community, where the leader was just there
when everybody came; however, forks that are spawn from the sudden-death
of a project, like what we're trying to establish here, and like a few
success stories i personally witnessed
( http://foswiki.org/About/WhyThisFork ), are different, they require a
lot of coordinated work, where the process becomes more democratic and
the leader doesn't have to be the best coder, maybe just a good leader
with some experience (and of course, full awareness of what he's getting
himself into).

just my tuppence...
