In theory it's a great idea but I think in practice very few people want to do that (or anything). In the same way that non-dev users could help with translating documentation etc but very rarely do. As it happens I recently had a guy translate our documentation into Catalan and he's just started on Spanish - but it's the first time I've been offered that sort of help in 6 years.

You are no doubt correct, but I could easily believe that 1% of people would be willing to, but don't know that there is a need, or how to volunteer for it if they did. Also, a system for crowdsourcing this, with "crowd" being minimally vetted volunteers, so that maybe you can't get everything but you could do 5% of the total.
