    He is not an unpaid volunteer.

    He's an associate professor at the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University. He is not paid by the journal, but he is paid a salary by the university, and the university expects that a small part of his academic work is to serve as an editor in academic journals.

      There are much easier and more prestigious ways of fulfilling university service requirements than reviewing and editing for TMLR, so I think it is correct in spirit to label it as volunteering.
