I would look at it sort of like a CTO/CEO relationship, but with a somewhat inverted power dynamic (if there is one at all). You have someone reliable who you can ask when a technical question comes up (so that you can determine whether someone else in the community is trying to tech-bullshit you), but you have a better grasp on how to deal with the human aspects of the community. That said, I'm not sure where you're going to find these people. Good managers are probably getting good manager jobs, and likely don't have the time to hand-hold another community. Combine that with the fact that their power mandate will be less clear in a community, and I doubt you'll get many people that want to get involved in this way.
