Even that limited 60 reviews is still having a notable positive
impact to the ability of Nova core to get things done.

How exactly is cutting more people from core helping us to keep up
with the incoming review workoad ? It just makes it worse.

The only way to mahorly help with that is to either get about 10-20
more people onto core which is unlikely, or to majorly split up the
project as I've suggested in the past, or something in between. eg
give the top 40 people in the review count list the ability to +2
things, leaving Nova core to just toggle the +A bit.
