Personally I'm not even a contributor, so I certainly don't get to decide that. Martin, who actually did get a vote through that the project wants to hire contractors for certain specified bugs, says that any one individual from the contributors could do so. So someone who's able to assess technical qualifications of an applicant, based on the fact that they understand the codebase themselves and thus know what's needed. Makes sense to me.
