No. The key committers are overstressed already.
It would also pretty much guarantee that we get *no* help during review
and beta, because everyone else will find it more interesting/fun to
work on new patches instead. The current system at least gives
non-committer developers some motivation to help with that stuff,
because they know their patches won't be looked at until beta is over.
