I attempted to start a similar thing ~2 yrs ago (the 'Debian QA Group') but
it mostly failed due to the little time I could spend on it back then and
lack of interest of most of the other developpers. Maybe it's time to try
to restart it?
(But my feeling on this is that 99% of the developpers prefer to spend
time on their own packages than having to deal with the bugs of other
developpers' packages.)
