A somewhat similar process is already in place. Folks like Viega and myself have developed static analysis tools; when we see an error, we try to modify our tools to find that too. My flawfinder tool (http://www.dwheeler.com/flawfinder) looks for previous mistakes, as does Viega's RATS. I'm sure more can be done, please do contribute!
