yeah, I can see where that might be cool, but I still think it may take up too much of the devs time. Ultimately, though it's up to them if they wanted to do that sort of thing. I for one wouldn't complain if they did just what you're suggesting. I trust that they know what they're doing and know how best to budget their time. :o)

Not at all. All I mean is its still up to the developer to write the plugin and develop unit tests. All I mean is that one of the dev team, or some other process that can work, runs over the plugin looking for good code, and any bugs. This means there won't be lots of different "improvments" littering the plugins page - but clear, well coded versions. As for a roll call, it would just be a matter of interest to find out who is still activly developing and maintainingplugins. If a developer is not working on it anymore, but its useful then its down to the community, devs and normal members to take over.
