We (the FreeBSD Documentation Project) tried this a few years ago...it was called the "FreeBSD Conspectus". It never worked real well...possibly because we tried to use it as a vehicle for non-committers to demonstrate their ability to get a doc commit bit. The few people who tried this tended to disappear after a few weeks. I think we finally removed all this stuff from the Web site last year, but it's still in CVS somewhere. Still, if anyone's interested, I'd say go for it. It doesn't require any special blessing from core or anyone else to summarize email on a list and post a report.
