i don't really have data on this, but my (moderately informed) impression is
that it's not really a relevant amount.
and as for the efficiency of the new workflow: i think it strictly depends on
how easy it is to script the new infrastructure. and if the new infra has more
structured/formal ways to store/access the data than debbugs and mailing lists,
then i'm pretty sure it can only make scripting easier. then scripts and emacs
based tools could serve the power users, while the web UI could serve the
occasional contributors.

posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large
scale.”
