Through one source or other, the system needs to have more bandwidth for processing more papers in a better way then is possible with current system. I am trying to think where does that extra bandwidth come from. As I see, there are 2 sources. One, as you pointed out from the article, is that existing reviewers put in more time and energy in the system to gain reputation. Another possibility is that since anyone can come in and start reviewing, people actually on the periphery of the system or outside the system might be able to add more bandwidth. For example, a student in India is no longer limited to review mostly for Indian conferences. He can dig around, find good papers from anywhere and give them more publicity. He can start as a feeder for more established REs and in time gain enough reputation to branch off on his own. I think this may be the major source of extra bandwidth that the system is able to harness.
