With this experience I am surprised that one FTP-team member is saying that no help is needed?
Apparently the problem isn't that no help is needed but that nobody has time to train the new help, citing possible burn-out trying to get answers from the existing members and leaving in disappointment, if not disgust. (My interpretation …)
While that's a valid concern, it's a problem every manager of an overworked team in the world has faced, volunteer or not.
There are (of course) multiple ways to approach this issue. The point (and I assume the reason Andreas basically ignored the team's rejection of new members) is that "do nothing until somebody has time to train new people" is among the worst possible approaches: experience tells us that the most likely outcome is "another team members quits".
