Bruce certainly didn't say that and it's rather disingenuous to claim
that he did. What I read is that he simply pointed out that we have
multiple priorities and need to consider work on acquiring new
reviewers in balance with the rest.

Also mentioned is that it's unclear how one might bound the work of
getting new reviewers- you can't say "it'll take X hours to get enough
reviewers" or even "it'll take X hours to get 5 new reviewers".

Thanks,

Stephen
