I don't think people would sign up for each and every PEP...
and you know how hard it is to even move a discussion from
one forum to another -- this either doesn't work out or 
kills discussion.

I think the simplest solution would be something like the
SF bug manager. I'm pretty sure that other projects on SF
have similar problems, so this might be worthwhile dicussing
with the SF folks. The technology and user interface are there,
it would only take a few new tables in the database.
