I've been wondering about this. 8-9 people would probably beef up the WebKit team a fair bit, judging by how fast features come out in WebKit betas.
For a while, I've figured that Apple tends to feel like it's got a self-imposed software-engineer shortage, judging from the long lists of bugs that they have. I've heard some people say that it's mostly a talent-allocation issue by management that seems to have other priorities or misplaced priorities or something. However, since Radar/Feedback Assistant acts like /dev/null most of the time, I figure they just need more engineers to actually work through the list of not-absolutely-critical bugs and spend more engineer-hours getting their software right.
