This sounds quite a lot like the WP:PRODUS proposal I made some time ago (which, in turn, came from some of the discussion that took place at WP:CSDUA). It was rejected at the time, but maybe it's time to restart the discussion? Also, I was considering a process where new unsourced articles would be userfied to their creator after a period of time with no sources, and placed in a category, with the resulting redirect speedied as cross-namespace. This way, anyone could userfy content after time's up, and tag the redirect (though an admin would eventually be needed to delete it), and those wishing to work on sourcing articles could look through that category and move it back into mainspace once it's got some sourcing behind it.

Looks like a good thing to try. I'll make my own proposal later today which should also improve the referencing of articles (new and old).
