Adding inexperienced cores doesn't really alleviate that issue though, and I 
don't currently feel that there is anyone with the right balance of experience 
and activity to be added to the core team.

Me and Richard monitor review activity very closely though, and we are actively 
looking to grow the team. We just need more activity from reviewers so that 
they can learn, and in turn we can teach them. I don't expect people to know 
everything before being core - I certainly didn't - but I don't think the bar 
is being met just yet.

Has there been any consideration of growing the core team to help with review 
bandwidth? I ask only because that resulting responsibility to the community 
can drive additional review activity. Just worried that only 1x +2 could cause 
issues with code being merged on a project this large that could potentially 
break things or clash with other opinions or standards of how it should be 
written/implemented? It concerns me that it makes it easier to overlook larger 
things in more substantial patches. I guess as you say, there needs to be 
accountability re not always going for the single +2 when the patch is of that 
sort of size and you need a second opinion?
