Its a hard problem in human psychology (see diffusion of
responsibility/the bystander effect). It'd be nice if there were some
place we could list all of these tasks and allow people to grab them,
regardless of what they maintain (sounds a bit like bugzilla really) to
at least deter the sense of "what if I do all this work and someone else
fixes it before I commit?"
