    What could help is some people only answering support requests.  That
    wouldn't be much work and wouldn't require much time from us.

Ok.  How about if I continue sending people your way, and you can
select a few and teach them to handle support requests?

    Yes. This is what takes the time. I think there's a clear separation
    between people who are dealing with technical issues with the
    savannah environment (ie: support requests, bugs, sysadmin issues)
    and people who are moderating new projects. 

That is a good idea.  They should be considered two separate
activities, though some people could be part of both.

Loic, what do you think?

    It's easier to have a good staff of 3/4 persons that are here for a
    whole year than having a beginner staff of 10 persons that are here
    for 1 month.
    So having too many unexperienced people can be a bad thing.

I tell them that for savannah we are looking for people
who are willing to commit to helping for at least a year.
