This is a good question. We already a lot of core developers, but
almost none is paid to contribute.

Mentoring is an investment in the long term. Is it better to pay
someone to review and merge PRs?

Reviewing PRs is also a way to help and train contributors. It's not
very different from mentoring, depending on your definition of
mentoring :-)
