I assume they're paid, otherwise why would you (Activity Central) not
just "establish" such people into the normal SugarLabs network.

What gap?  The gap between getting code from deployments and...
deployments who want to write code?

What is "Deployment Support Network"?  In particular, who are they and
how/why are they distict from Sugar Labs "members" (basically anyone
who wants to submit a patch or write an email to sugar-devel@)?

You've totally avoided Walter's question (AFAICS) and then gingerly
formulated an missive that, despite some mysterious reservations,
seems to imply that you think the "[SL] development team" will resist
having "experienced developers [...become] maintainers".  Why would
you think that?
