Not a bad idea.  You also need to handle the fact that some
developers refuse on principle to mfc anything since they don't run
-stable.  Others will do it, but they usually want to avoid stepping
on the original committer's toes in case he was planning to mfc it at
a later date.

[On a little further reflection, I don't know how politically
 acceptable your idea is, either...  It could be viewed as rather
 intrusive.]
