This concept would be helpful to the extent that it makes the traffic of each noticeboard or process or wiki-project or other "hot spot" more diverse, or less adhocratic/cliquish/whatever. Some venues could use a little shaking up (organized disruption).
Working on it an hour a week, though, I could take. Especially if there were a way for me to see that a bunch of other people were sharing the burden.
I really like this idea. The cliques that control certain pages have an undue influence on our policies and procedures, focusing all their time on meta-issues instead of writing articles. The people writing articles should be the ones making policies, but they don't have the time or patience. A bot that went around asking random people to spend 15 minutes on any AfD nominations that caught their eye, for instance, would do much to break up the stagnation.
