The backlog is probably in the area of making sound judgements (especially in deciding whether or not to delete). This can be done without adminship at all, though.
That's an interesting point. People seem to miss that there is more to adminship than the technical admin tools. Closing AfDs is an admin power,
Last time I checked policy stated (*) that only closing highly disputed AfDs was "an admin power", though those are the only ones that take a significant amount of time anyway. This was a step up in power from the rules during the early days, when the rules specifically said that non-admins were allowed to close VfDs.
(*) I can't find the policy at the moment, though.
