More eyes are of course always welcome.

That said, there haven’t been many volunteers so far, despite its development 
going on for many months now, in the open, in official ASF repos. I suspect 
mainly because it’s pretty hard and not exactly very fun (speaking from 
experience).

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Truth is, next major release is pretty far away. This is not an attempt to 
fast-track a major change right before a release vote. Anything can be 
reverted, anything can be modified, and many things will be before now and then 
- there is a pretty long list of work remaining to be done.

The CEP was voted on, development is progressing along the lines of the CEP, 
and any extra review on top of the mandated (and objectively already cleared) 
bar can be performed on trunk commits just as easily after the merge. Many 
months ahead for any volunteers to take a look at the work already done and the 
work yet to come and raise any issues.

The sooner it’s in trunk, the more eyes it will draw, IMO, if you are right 
about most contributors not having paid attention to a feature branch.
