I don't review every draft (you can see which ones I didn't review on the
record because I don't state a position if I didn't review the draft). But
there's a limit to how useful this is—e.g., Brian Haberman has a very different
history and set of experiences in the IETF than I do, so it's not necessarily
the case that we would see the same things in reading the same document (and,
indeed, we usually don't).
So I base my decision to review on more of a triage approach: I review the ones
that I think are most important and most likely to be understandable to me
first, and then branch out from there; if I have time to read them all, I do,
but if I don't, I don't guilt trip about it. I will almost certainly miss
something important at some point, but that would be true even if I reviewed
every document.
So the problem is that increasing the number of ADs per area might help, but I
don't think it would be linear, so it's an expensive approach.
