Is this something that we should be doing?
This is something we do at hack-a-tons. I don't remember the number of bugs smashed at the last one, but it was a decent number.
I believe the next hack-a-ton is in Berlin, soon.
Perhaps requiring people to travel to another country to participate in this is part of the problem. I don't doubt that real-life meetings are useful for Wikimedia Foundation employees and existing MW contributors, but it doesn't do much to encourage new people to join in.
