Buildbot worker balancing between master and 22.03 ?

I am repeating myself, but it looks strange that we have only 3 build workers 
on packages for the active master branch, while the almost dormant 22.03 has 
currently 10 active workers (and concurrent builds).

The packages build cycle in master is currently uncomfortably long.
