Why don't we all just watchlist [[m:Requests for queries]]? We can't do them automatically, but we can review them for sanity and push them through phpMyAdmin.
We can, but I for one like a ticket system better for this kind of stuff: it's clear what is pending and what is not, you get notified abotu new requests (and not about comments, if you don't want to), etc. Also, I for one already have way to much stuff on my watchlist on way too many wiki projects.
On the long run, I'd suggest to simply make [[m:Requests for queries]] a pointer to toolserver's query service. I would hope that requests on toolserver's jira would get processed more quickly, and get forgotten less often.
