It's an interesting idea.  But I've done something similar to this, ad
hoc[1], a few times in XEmacs, and it has never worked out.  That's
not to say it never will, but I found that people with a long-term
low-level interest generally have a reason for being that way.

Footnotes: 
[1]  In looking through logs, I see a person whose name I recognize
from other commits associated with a currently problematic area, and
get in touch.  They've been happy to give what advice they can on the
current issue, but then gracefully decline more regular involvement.
