There is no reason given there. Let me quote:
|- most processing of the NEW queue has of late been done by a single
|ftpmaster, who has not been actively doing NEW processing this year. I

|real-world time constraints, and that the other ftpmasters are aware of
|this.
|
|- another ftpmaster has been moving house this month, with much of the usual
|network-related pain and anguish that goes with it.
|
|- the ftpmasters are generally aware that there is a manpower problem here,
|as some consideration has been given to a candidate for augmenting the
|existing team. I don't know if there is currently a timeline for confirming
|him as an ftpmaster, or what steps lie between now and final approval, but
|the ftpmasters have certainly not been sitting idly by waiting to be flamed
|before taking action.
This is basically a "no information is available".
I find it notable that this "bits from foo" is the first article of
that kind I have ever read that was not being posted by a member of
the foo team.
IMO, this actually _proves_ the case that ftpmaster is one of the
biggest problems that Debian has at the moment, now that the DAM
problem has been solved elegantly and efficiently.
