This just got me wondering - is there an ideal number of TUs that you want there to be? Should people just continue applying if they have the know-how and time, or else are there "enough" TUs at the moment? What's the feeling on that?

Have a look at this thread from the forums: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103250

More is better. The packages/TU ratio will decrease as the number of TUs increases, and it will be more likely that a TU uses the packages he or she maintains. If you want to be a TU, find a sponsor and apply.

Such numbers and ratios are misleading, we have one TU maintaining over 800 packages, and that keeps growing. I think it was around 600 last year. Overall I'd say it's good to have more TUs though.
