I think it makes perfectly sense.
Actually, I've for a while felt envy about Ubuntu's periodic, but
thematic "bug day" [1], still not liking the fact that it is periodic
(which can make people participation fade).
What you propose can easily become an on-demand call for help by
specific teams to triage/fix/close/... bugs of specific packages, which
I believe would be even better than periodic bug days.
I believe the best way to both achieve your needs and do some
"marketing" about this and similar initiatives is actually that you, as
in X strike force, organize one for a specific day and post the
corresponding announcement on d-d-a.
To make understand what this is about I suggest using a common name and
I don't think it would be wise to overload "BSP". I don't mind choosing
"Bug Day" for Debian too. If you like it, you can probably just go ahead
and announce the "X.org Bug Day" on d-d-a.
Thanks for the idea!
Cheers.
