Yeah, there are a number of things that strike me about this idea.
* Works for Wikipedia? Worth considering. :)
* Putting a request for help in a freeflow wiki page is a pretty easy
thing to do by comparison to joining a mailing list, introducing
yourself, and asking for help (cf. asking for formal Docs Team help
goes like that.)
* It allows for things to be done quickly with minimal fuss.
* Puts needed work for real community efforts right in the hands of
interested wiki gardeners.
* When something is written on a wiki page and referenced in a mailing
list, it tends to give a bit more weight. So, ideas put on this
page first and then one could email a related list, "I'm asking for
help on this."
Personally, I'd find it a fun way to get some gardening in and know
I'm helping.

Here's an idea of what it could be like:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Dafrito/Wiki_Request_List
It should have lots of transparency. Lots of discussion can take place
through mailing lists, but things should try to make their way
(through links, at least) back to the wiki. This lets tasks get picked
up and dropped with minimal disruption.
Another idea is to encourage collaboration. Encouraging comments by
others, having discussion be in a central place as possible maximizes
collaboration. This might get noisy if we got busy, but I think we
could cross that bridge when we get to it.
At the very least, this page would allow collaborators to coordinate
their personal to-dos and things-that-bug-them.
