There have been occasional threads, yes. Not systematically. An obstacle is that Scott generally uses his blog to cover topics not suitable for LW: politics, psychology outside the cog-sci domain, more politics, collections of terrible puns, long meandering refutations of politics.

(This is not to disparage it; I probably comment more there than I do here.)

I'm not sure those topics are outside the norms of LW, outside the puns. Cf. this discussion: http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/lj4/what_topics_are_appropriate_for_lesswrong/
