That's an interesting idea. This would probably curb bad behavior, when you get reprimanded from several folks who have an actual stake in it.

But - and sorry if I'm overly negative here - I see other issues: First, you wouldn't want to dilute the stakes too much. If my bad behavior is a very small problem for 100 people, they probably don't care too much and nor do I. The more pressing problem might be that growth is now really heard. The easiest way is if someone takes 100% responsibility, but then you only get very similar people and no new ideas. Or you need several people inviting the same person, so your community cannot grow exponentially (I think).

This might be a good approach if you strive for homogeneity and accept small growth.
