Not that I was planning on going in any case, but it seems to me that 10 hours is a bit much to expect, much less 15 hours at-the-door -- like the con is worth so much? At 15 hours, assuming one spent all three days there, they'd be locked in the gaming room for 5 hours a day. What fun!
I don't game at cons so I can't say much about how it would be to spend that amount of time in one place, but I can say that many conventions use 10 hours of volunteer service (gophering) as the minimum for refund/rollover of membership.
15 hours seems a bit excessive, but if they can find some really dedicated folks, more power to them.
Most volunteer work is fairly straightforward, pick this up, hold that, take that somewhere. When you ask someone to run a game, you're asking them to come up with a scenario and run it for about four to eight players, plus bring along a game board/map and any miniatures or other equipment they might use. It's sort of skilled labor versus unskilled.
