I can tell only about myself.

Sometimes I do not feel like I am a right person to review the patch because I feel weak in that area (EM, for example). On the other case I do not like the idea on the intuitive level but this is not a reason to stop the patch. So I keep quiet again. Yet another case is that testing the patch takes lots of effort to reproduce the bug (it was like that with #8232).

Other developers may have the same reasons. Don't also forget that all core devs do core work in their spare time. Only v5 team is paid for working on TYPO3, v4 is not!

It is difficult to "assign" people in core team because they are not oligated to work on core (not paid for this). Core team members mostly volunteer for tasks.
