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.
