I understand that spamming is normal on Twitter, but do we really want 
people to spam General like that? Can't you bring voting back on 
Bugzilla and take that into account?

That requires a Bugzilla account. And I don't see it as spam. I 
expect posts in the forums to sometimes spark discussion.

Nice idea.

I wonder if something like this could encourage people that otherwise 
wouldn't fix bugs themselves to make an attempt -- maybe a month dedicated 
to fixing bootcamp bugs (or documentation bugs, or ...) with some sort of 
friendly competition attached.

If people that know the compiler's internals would be "on call" to answer 
questions, however basic, (which is pretty normal already, making it an 
easy promise) it might encourage people to try it, building a measure of 
comfort with the codebase and potentially regular contributions in the 
future.
