The problem with having more contributors is that in order to ensure security, I'd have to review their code, and it would take just about as long to review other people's code as to write it from scratch, and that code would be less maintainable in the long run since it would be in a different style from my own. An alternative would be to switch to a different development model with lots of contributors, lots of reviewers, a lot more resources overall. Unfortunately that doesn't seem very realistic for Crypto++ given that even OpenSSL has had trouble getting enough resources to maintain its security in the past.
