What gives you that impression? ~180 committers that have been
active within the last 12 months (as in at least one commit), are
currently pitted against 915 open PRs. ~80 committers perform
more than 1 commit per week.

Of 440 committers the top 20 do more than 60% of the work.

The ports tree currently has more than 1700 maintainers. A small
number considering that they maintain almost 22000 ports, but
still there ought to be some potential to lift some of that burden
from the committers.
