That is an entirely valid remark, and using PSF funds for that would be an appropriate spending of the funds. Unfortunately, I don't think it will work: we can't hire anybody off the street to do patch reviews and commits for us, since we need to trust reviewers to do a high-quality job. The people who already review and commit patches regularly probably can't be pursued with money to work more on Python (I know that I wouldn't be pursued, atleast not with the amount of money that the PSF could offer). As for spending your volunteer time differently: most certainly, yes. Any volunteer can spend volunteer time anyway they please. This goes both ways, of course: for submitters and reviewers. If you want to push your changes, an alternative procedure might be to push only selected changes, by contacting somebody you know is primary maintainer of that part of Python - and trust that your own reputation on python-dev will not make that person ignore you.
