Actually, it *is* useful for the 'randomization algorithm' to be a bit more... random than that; it spreads the work around, and reduces the "40 people all trying to fix [[Afghanistan]]" problem.
So pick a random member off the first page instead. Or from the second sometimes. Or the tenth. You don't need a built-in system to do that, just pick one. There are probably only going to be like ten people who actually do this on a regular basis, even on enwiki, however much encouragement is provided, and it's not like it usually takes that long to do cleanup, so conflicts are unlikely even if you just pick the first article off the first page.
