You just pointed out the problem. Linus being the only trusted committer for more than 100 MB of source base as he was for less than 1 MB 10 years ago. And our single committer got some other loads as he has a job, children, a boss, a mother-in-law :), may-be pets, etc...
The fact that Linux has great success does not mean that Linus is right on the way he wants the kernel maintainance to proceed. It just means that he hasn't been too wrong on this point, in my opinion. :-)
