I think this is the wrong way to see it. Since work for Debian is
based on a voluntary basis developers who have mor packages to process
can allow themselves to invest more time and effort into such an
undertaking than others. I'd rather propose to think the other way
round: People with a higher "load" are more likely to work on less
packages and people with a lesser "load" have more time/energy/money
left to work on more packages.

Indicating that their maintainers can afford investing more of his/her
time, effort, money, etc. than other people? Yes, definitely!
