I wonder. Would there be value in adding a sign-up email to the list

Turn it around. Have a document outlining how one should _argue_ for
their idea. Instead of, "We get a lot of ideas. Are you SURE your idea
is good?" say, "We WANT to hear your idea, and here is the best way to
get us to listen." A list of reasons why ideas get rejected will make
them defensive, while a list of points they need to prove will put
them on the offensive, and also get them thinking deeply about the
potential costs/issues of their idea.
+1. These seem like *really* good ideas to me.
