I have proposed myself at some point this past year, to help the ftp-masters in the task of handling NEW, especially for some packages which are highly repetitive, like the kernels (for which i am as qualified as anyone else to know what to do), and other such just-rename packages, as soname changing library, which mostly only need to be in close contact with the RMs. Sure, this is small work, but it has a huge impact on the perception of NEW, and may free the more experienced ftp-masters to do the more demanding work, but this was flatly rejected, and you perfectly know about it.
