Not really true since any of the 5 could be one or two sentence comments 
while his 1 might include committing, or a second review after revision. 
Besides which, a person accepting the offer got to choose both the 5 to 
review and the 1 to be reviewed. Choice has value.

Perhaps, but it is also attractive enough that there have been several 
requests for someone to renew the offer, and no core developer currently 
willing to make the offer (because giving up choice is a cost).
