This is not a new concept/idea.
For folks who remember "Breathe Icon theme", this was part of the
submissions process:

"Put your submissions here. ... along with an announcement of your
submission on the Ubuntu-Artwork Team mailing list. "
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions>

It worked for Breathe, every submission was announced and critiqued
here. And critiques were from members who did not work on Breathe Icon
set too.

Just because new folks are trying to take-on the responsibility, we
should not forget how successful community projects were run in the
past.

And as Сергей mentioned earlier, 'Breathe icon theme' did feel like a
community process and not an "every man for himself" task.
