I think if you do this you effectively need a bit more ahead of time commitment, i.e. all the sub-programmers agreeing to finalise the panels they're organising and the majority of the panellists by some date in advance of the con, say a month. At this time all the work not done and responsibilities are transferred to the main programmer, without necessarily needing a guilt factor or what have you.
That way you get what you can out of the process without having to rely on flaky people at the last minute.
The uber-programmer would need that time remaining to rebalance the varying efforts of the volunteer minions. And they would vary.
