[QGIS-Developer] A plea: more volunteers needed for reviewing backports

[Alexis R.L.]

I agree with Gio and I was curious as to why some bugs are funded but not
reviewing. Reviewing can help prevent some bugs and has also the potential
to improve a PR.

I'd also say that improving the review pace will help losing PR to
stalebot. In my eyes bugfix are crucial, but new features are also
important, and those seem to require more time to review. New features also
help promote QGIS and compete against other software.

Funding could be done like bugs or like grants, with or without a selection
process. This would help competent devs to devote more of their time to
reviewing.
