Well, that's my point of having not only one person doing it. Anyways,
it would be best if only one person would maintain the
new-packages-branch, as this simplifies a lot of stuff. Anyways, I
don't say that only one person should review the patches, of course!
And of course it is committment, but so is everything in developing a
distro or software, I guess!

On the huge stream of changes part: Is it actually that much already?
How many packages are there per week, for example? I don't think it is
_that_ much, ...

For example, there are currently 25 PRs on github with the tag
"new-package", only 10 of them from the last 10 days! It is really not
that much!
