I dont know exactly, one of the techs will have to answer this.
However, I would agree with you on the assumption that it's probably
relatively easy by now.

Most of the effort that I am talking about is cleanup and maintenance.
I've seen projects where 95% of the edits made in a given month were
either spam/vandalism and stewards coming in to clean it up. I would
argue that when a project serves no other purpose then as a battle
ground between stewards and vandals, that it should probably be
closed.
