The coincidence of skill and time and interest on the part of volunteers
is the limiting factor.

Probably one of the best things you could do would be to summarize the
PRs you see as languishing. (And post summaries to a list, even
periodically?)  This would have the benefit of saving time for people
who are looking for good patches to apply, and would also generate
interest by drawing attention to good patches.
