And even based upon pure observation, I sometimes cannot keep up with the patch submissions even if I lock myself up in my office for a full straight 12 hours of a day.
That tells me that we are almost nearing a situation where we have more than we need.
I think this "we need more developers" problem really does not exist currently. I see new people appearing all the time, and these are the kind of new people we need, those who do useful work and aren't in the "whitespace loop".
