The key is not how many modules you are managing but whether those belong
to the same community.

To take an example that I'm familiar with, Apache Sling manages more than
100 modules [1] and releases them very regularly. That works fine.

Sometimes one needs to call for more PMC members to get enough votes on a
module that interests only few people, and when that became hard we just
went back to our list of committers and elected a bunch of them as PMC
members (which also means you look for new committers often, as people also
go). Because people care about the overall health of the project, they will
take the time to vote on releases even for modules that they're not really
interested in.
