You’re still thinking in terms of throwing people at a problem. At best, that will help with low-hanging fruit or obvious stuff that people missed. The low-hanging fruit is mostly gone, you can no longer get visible improvements by having a random person look at something for a few days. In the early days, MAME could get visible progress almost every day because there was a lot of really easy stuff that anyone could do. Twenty years later, the easy stuff has all been done.
