I can tell you all, that at the moment there is no tutorial bottle neck. We have at least 5 new tutorials coming this week, but the system we have for putting them online is very easy.
Also, i'm not sure how automated you can make this as the code needs to be checked to ensure someone submitting code that would affect other tutorials, like a delete from a database. But the suggestion of a group of trusted editors is something that I would adopt if the flow of tutorials was great enough. PS: I would like to hit the first milestone of 100 tutorials by the end of the year, I don't think this will be too hard.
