Why do they need 4 team leads for 8 engineers?

WMF projects are usually open to volunteer help
So? I've found 1:10 to be a good ratio between leads and grunts. 1:5 if lead is technical and also contributes work and not just leadership/management. And that's when those 10 (or 5) people are working full time.
