I think the basic idea is good.

My concern is that if we allow responses to bee too 'free form', collation
and analysis of the results will be too difficult and very resource
intensive. We might want to try and enforce a standard format for responses
to make collation of results easier. This could be done with a basic elisp
package put into ELPA (similar in principal to report-emacs-bug). The
package could even have an interface for submitting new proposals. It would
even be possible for the package to list currently open proposals etc.
