I think this depends on whether the problem is time at any given instant,
or over a longer period of time. If the problem is “people don't have time
right now”, what is needed is a way to make sure patches are not forgotten
until the point where someone has time (so, effectively more reviews per
reviewer). If the problem is that reviewers are generally overworked,
one needs more reviewers or less work per review, as you say.
