Yes, this would be *very* cool, if for no other reason than to try to 
thin out the Collector.  I made one pass over it today and found a few 
that never got closed when resolved, etc.  What several of them seemed 
to fall into, though, were ones that really merited a discussion of some 
sort to resolve, preferably with a senior engineer of some sort present 
to at least bounce ideas off.

I'm sure I could swing a weekday every once in awhile (during the 
workday, EST) at work.

Better make 'em scheduled, or no-one will show. :-)
