It is true we are always complaining how understaffed project X and app Y are, but we are not a company, but an association run by volunteers.
In that context, if someone comes in and decides to work on a new project Z, there is no-one with the authority to tell them to go and work on X or Y instead.
That is not how we solve understaffing in KDE. Instead we have to recruit people directly into the understaffed projects. We cannot take them away from whatever their pet projects are.
