I'm not sure that there's any workable way to "get someone's personal
attention" on an ongoing basis.  This is a volunteer project and
people resent generally being assigned things or disappear for long
periods even when they don't resent it.

Of course, if you think you have a more scalable solution then my only
suggestion would be to implement it and see how it works.  We've tried
a number of different things over the last 5 years and pretty much all
of them have failed, so I don't think anyone will dispute the validity
of your concepts so much as the validity of trying to make such things
actually work in this context.
