The main purpose is to allow you to set yourself a reminder to work on a task that you think is necessary but not much fun. For example, Saturday I spent some time handling CAT:CSD and WP:AN/I requests.
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).
That is another part of my secret plan.
Part of what inspired my desire for ChoreBot was AfD. I know I *should* go and work on it once in a while, as the whole point is to get outside views. But every time I do it seem like such an endless firehose that I rarely think, "Hey, an afternoon of AfD is the most fun thing I could do right now."
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.
