I'm not sure either, but I can tell you one thing it is very very good for.
There are many many times when I need to quietly ask a group of trusted editors to look at a problematic article -- for example, we get a complaint from someone fairly obscure, on a topic I know nothing about, and I look at the article and it is obvious crap. The channel is already proving useful in that regard.
