At least in the States, it would probably work well to accumulate
neighborhood views on a Census block basis rather than an arbitrary
grid. Correlations with blockgroup demographics might then illuminate
some of the behavior you suggest below.

If you had a lot of people submitting their own version of the
boundaries for the same neighborhood, it would be interesting to
create a composite layer. A grid with cells containing the degree
of agreement on whether the cell is in or out. When using the
data, one could then determine how strong of an agreement was
appropriate for their end use.
To get enough data to make this meaningful, it would likely only
work for more localized areas.
I would bet that based on where one person lives, they may not skew
boundaries in equal directions. If I lived in East Dumpsville, I
would happily extend the boundary of Prosperous Park over to the
other side of my house. If I lived in PP, I don't think that I
would map it that far to the East...

This is what I'm offering. The idea of creating a database of
neighborhoods that many people could collaboratively develop fits
nicely into a research project I'm involved in at the MIT dept. of
urban studies & planning:
