Isn't that part of his goal, though? It's great to find people who are that passionate about the work. Somewhere out there a developer is drooling to work on a browser project and would be in heaven if they could prove themselves good enough to make the team.

I'd argue that in this case, he's not helping them (the 1000) to get a job, he's helping himself (the Chrome developer) to get an extra committer or two.
