Absolutely; I only opened a bug to put the question on our table, but
timing is clearly one aspect of the discussion surrounding the picking
of new TC members.

One problem we have, I think, is that we allowed issues to get stalled
for quite long periods of time [0]. We should discipline ourselves to
not let this happen, and use our regular IRC meetings to assign tasks
between us (as well as actually assign issue mentors). Stalled issues
are really painful to put back on the table, as the context has to be
fully rebuilt.
Another problem we currently face, I think, is that we have multiple
subjects on the table currently getting to conclusion in parallel. This
parallellism imposes high bandwidth constraints on the TC members.
What I really would hope new TC members could bring is more an ability
to react in bursts rather than a commitment to spend a fixed amount of
hours per week/month. I'm totally aware that this might not be
appealing or even realistic, but so far, this really seems to be what's
needed to push issues to conclusion.
Cheers,
