"What would Dave Chinner do?"
While that's not a bad mantra, I'll point out that the very capable Darrick Wong is the current XFS kernelspace maintainer. The XFS developer community had a successful handoff from one maintainer to another, and retained the 100% review standard.

I ended up with Dave Chinner instead of "XFS folks" or something like that exactly because Dave would also mentor new maintainers and hand over duties. So covers both the lack of review I see in the kernel at large, and the lack of ramping up new maintainers to keep up with the growth.
