Shapado is a form of QTS, in a sense that if someone asks the some Q,
you can just provide a link to some answer from the mailing list,
Also, in my case, I asked some question and the maintainer actually
have me an answer
(http://ask.debian.net/questions/default-python-for-debian-7-0).
I know it's a trade-off, but your QTS sounds like overkill; it's yet
another system. Rather, promote Shapado to package maintainers, and
maybe they can subsribe to a tag or something. In fact, I like the
format so much that Shapado should be THE place to ask Debian-related
questions, just like StackOverflow is THE place to ask programming
questions.
