Having read your wiki post, I find it a simple, considered upping of the game, which I think would be worth the effort of trying, especially as the mini-reports don't get to the board unless there are issues. There really could do with being a little more 'cost' to being a podling, or a mentor for that matter, and this proposal moves gently in that direction.
If folks approve, we'll need to seek champions for all existing podlings, and decide what to do about those for which we cannot identify one.
