Hence the focus on current core developers in
https://docs.python.org/devguide/motivations.html#goals-of-this-page
rather than any of the other roles involved in the development process
- without investment in increasing core developer availability and in
making more effective use of core developers' time, funneling more
patches to the bottleneck faster currently just increases the backlog
of unreviewed patches rather than increasing the number of fixes and
improvements actually applied :)

Cheers,
Nick.
