In theory you are right - more folks = more
awesomeness. In practice this
involves a lot of effort, effort that people often are not willing to put
in. Just look at our rather poor history with bugzilla patches (although
things have improved)
I see this as a good problem to have. On the short term yes more
effort. On the long term if we do things right more people invested in
the project, more people to deal with patches, more people with +2 etc
etc...
