I remember another person asking whether he can overtake posting the open thread.

consider what kind of community their downvote is promoting.

A community where people don't try to farm karma by overtaking the roles of other people without asking that person beforehand.

A community where several people compete to be the first one to post a regularly occurring thread sounds much more robust to me than a community that relies on just one person (who may become unexpectedly unavailable) to do it.
