Realistically, considering how much time does it take to change anything about LW software, I don't see it as likely.
But I can imagine that this system could work if we had multiple moderators. I mean, so the website would not be completely abandoned if one moderator spends a day offline. Also, to provide the moderators some kind of plausible deniability, so they wouldn't feel they start a personal conflict with someone whenever they remove a comment.
Regarding changes to LW software, I think the process can be improved if the persons responsible will allow LWers with coding skills to volunteer their time.
It's open source, and contributions (at least on some issues) are welcome.
jackk, Vladimir, thx for commenting!
I think those links should be on the main page to be easier to discover.
Part of my job is to review pull requests.
