If the problem is really apparent, why can't you tag the page appropriately? I don't think adding a new layer of procedure will help anything; people who already have the time and such will already be working on the cleanup category.
Sure. Let me just take a look... [[Category:NPOV disputes]] 1800 articles tagged. [[Category:Articles which may be biased]] 196 articles tagged [[Category:Accuracy disputes]] 1000 articles tagged [[Category:Pages needing attention]] 198 articles tagged [[Category:Possible copyright violations]] 199 articles tagged Of course, my "urgent request" will be taken care of within the hour.
So modify your reply to the complainer: instead of saying "oh yes, I've taken care of it personally; you don't need to do anything" try saying "as per normal Wikipedia procedure I've tagged it for urgent treatment. Please feel free to help out yourself."
