Why not impose a self-restriction on the number of critpath packages?
Make a rule like "The ratio of proventesters to critpath packages must
be x or higher". When the critpath numbers start creeping up, drop a
few other packages from critpath. This will help focus testing
efforts, and allow it to expand along with the growth of the
community.
