In order to play devils advocate here (I'm not saying if I'm on one side of the 
fence or the other):

1) The group isn't a great archive for problems as the specific problems tend 
to be buried in email threads.
2) For a lot of the problems on here, support.heroku.com is probably the best 
place to go.
3) The StackOverflow  tag on SO is remarkably active:  
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/heroku
3) Google have already done this with some success:  
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-appengine/Z6XN_64cA7w
