Multiple, yes. Hundreds, no.
I do think that, especially for things like KDE libs, there should be some
committer available at all times, so that turn-around can still be very
fast. That still only requires 5-10 people with commit bits.

There's absolutely no reason those people can't push their changes to a
public repository that one (or more) of the committers watch. Requesting a
pull actually takes less time than actually doing a merge/rebase+push.
Especially if you add (something like) this to your bashrc:
request-pull() {
SPONSORS=( [email protected], [email protected],
[email protected], [email protected] );
mailx -s 'Most recent KDE commits.' $sponso...@] <<- EOF
Could you please pull $(git describe --contains --all --always HEAD)
from
my KDE git repository into mainline? If not, could you review it and
tell
me how to make it better? Thanks!

And anyway, those with high community cred and low numbers of "crap" commits
should keep their commit-bit.
I'm not saying that KDE should go to a model like the kernel or git. There
should well be dozens of people with commit-bits. I just think that fewer
contributors and more review-oriented culture would lead to fewer "crap"
commits and fewer issues to fix. For me, that's just a feeling; I can't
back it up with data.
I'm also *well* off-topic for this list, now. So, unless this thread turns
around I'm going to bow out.
