Well, I think the number of contributors grows fast enough since we
migrated to github:
https://www.openhub.net/p/nixos/contributors/summary

I think the inflow of PRs *is* high wrt. the number of active
contributors with push access. Certainly too much to keep quality very
high all the time, but on the other hand, for those less important
packages it's not a big deal...
