So my argument is quite simply that without building this number much higher for each of the underlying subsystems, I don't see what choice core has *but* to turn into the dark, scary kind of contrib by adding more committers to the mix.

I have to take issue with this in as much as any added committers would almost certainly not (as you do not) commit their own patches. If we were to move towards the notion of subsystem committers I would imagine that they would have to be in close communication with you and Dires about the overall direction and API design, get one or more serious reviews in addition to their own review, and probably would have much less time for writing patches as opposed to reviewing and committing them. In other words, they would behave w.r.t. a subset of the code in much as we observe you (and Gabor, and Neil) behaving. -Peter
