The process isn't at all complicated, but it is difficult. Any process is useless unless there is the manpower in the target review team to execute it. That is where the bottleneck lies. If I was a MOTU I wouldn't want to spend my entire day dealing with an essentially clerical process. I would have upload privileges and things I wanted to get done of my own. And I can certainly understand it if other MOTUs feel that way. However as the process stands there is no-one to delegate to, so MOTUs have to do it all. The problem is not the process, it is the level of people you are asking to operate the process and the general lack of manpower. To get around that you have to reduce the work they are asked to do, or get people other than MOTUs to review packages. For example is there any reason why MOTU wannabes couldn't do the package reviews and +1 them when they are happy? Then MOTUs only have to look at packages that have already passed through an acolyte. That helps train the acolytes and reduces load on MOTUs.
