Hmm, that is a good question. I know that awhile back they were looking for new volunteers, but currently they don't really seem to be that backlogged.
There probably are 30 million accounts because of the amount of spam accounts out there, and also because LJ has existed for ten years and churned through a lot of users. Historically, with any site, the amount of accounts just keeps increasing over time, since many people don't delete their accounts.
