Regarding your second point. This is sci-fi in case of small projects, it maybe works for large ones, but for example when I create a bug for huggle or wm-bot where PHP, python, or JS guy is needed, nobody ever notice that. BTW mozilla is already doing this and it seems to be pretty effective, I think wikimedia could get inspired a bit (this idea is actually not from my head) :P
