I support this idea. One question: how to remove bad or MIA DMs?

I'm less sure of this one. Haven't past self-nominations been
rejected partly because the current team should *want* help for it to
work effectively?
Specific problems: why three as the limit? What is core and what
isn't? How can competence be demonstrated for tasks which require
privileged access to infrastructure?

This has much merit, apart from the "absolutely final" bit. Allow one
appeal route (an undo GR?) within the project and realise that if we
go barking mad, there is *always* a possibility of Real-Life courts.
