I don't think that this is workable, as Debian is a project with open
development. And developers that work hard may well say something in a
hurry, that was probably not so polite. As long as it is not too often,
there is nothing wrong with it. And the other developers shouldn't jump
on the train and start a never ending thread, too.
More important than selecting developers is the developer database. We
really need some information how many people actually are working on Debian.
This will help to have some overview.
