Expand CodeReview to handle feature requests and promote when people get enough supports? That would replicate the move in which, first bureucrats, then stewards were created.
Throwing in a huge number of committers at once is problematic as well since that means more time is going to be spent in post-commit review; new committers generally need some time to really ramp up.
Pre-commit review -- eg checking then committing patches -- takes longer, but is safer. It's a balance that needs to be struck and yeah, it's tricky.
Ideally we'd have a much faster, cleaner pre-commit review pipeline and keep the number of general core committers relatively small. (We wouldn't have nearly as many committers as we do -- over 100! -- if patch review were consistent.)
