Oh, definitely. But basically, if I'm going to put in a FAC's worth of work, I want to know what's in it for the article, or for me bothering.
Well, doing anything special for the article -- aside from the shiny star -- would probably involve a great deal of talking and wouldn't go anywhere.
As for you bothering, though, the options are a little more flexible. We probably can't (easily) offer any tangible rewards, but what might be a more practical possibility would be better recognition for those who do the work.
For example, what if we prominently displayed the top, say, 100 entries from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:LWFAN on the Community Portal (or on the Main Page, for the truly self-aggrandizing). It wouldn't be much, granted; but it would still be more than what we have now (and would, nicely enough, be slanted towards those who made FA writing a regular pastime).
