I'm not talking about individual buffs, just group buffs. I only raided on Blue once, in Halls of Testing, but that guild had a system where whoever formed the group was the one responsible for all group buffs. So for example when my cleric died and got rezzed, instead of directly asking for POTG and C2/GOPT, the group leader made the request.
I think the idea was to prevent a scenario when multiple members of the same group ask different people for the same buff, and you get something like two different druids casting POTG on the same group and wasting a bunch of mana. Made sense to me, but like I said I only raided with them once.

Personally I haven't seen a rule that requires all group leaders to be the group buff liaison in a big guild. At least when I was raiding.
I have been in plenty of groups where the group buffs were acquired by whomever. You can just cancel a buff request if you sent one out and your group got the buff already.
As I said before, big guilds want proactive players. There are obviously group leaders who prefer to be the group buff liaison. But that doesn't mean you should assume all group leaders do this. Ask your group if you can send out a PoTG request. If nobody objects, then go for it.
