... then I'm missing some kind of strategy on how to improve things (or
maybe I simply don't know they exist). Without having a detailed background
about the project setup and the way the small team works, I would at a
first glance assume that there are two options to improve. One would be to
make the team bigger (as you said, it's open and I'm pretty sure there are
enough volunteers) or a second one, by increasing the automation level for
the CentOS production.

What do you think and are there discussions in the core CentOS community to
go either one of these routes?
