While agreeing with your overall sentiment, what worries me a tad is implied perception that contributing as a core should somehow be easier that as a mortal.    While I might expect cores to produce better initial code, I though the process and standards were intended to be a level playing field.

Has anyone looked at the review bandwidth issue from the perspective of whether there has been a change in the amount of time cores now spend contributing vs reviewing ?    
Maybe there's an opportunity to get cores to mentor non-cores to do the code production, freeing up review cycles ?
