I'd like to direct attention to another aspect of Martijn's information:

"""
Starting a new Stack Exchange site is a *lot of work*.
....
You'd need a higher question volume;
Plone on Stack Overflow has seen a little over 2000 questions in 5
years time; the Joomla site has more than 1000 in just 230 days, and
that is actually considered *low* for a beta.
"""

Is this where we want to spend our energy? Is the problem we've had with
occasional mis-closed issues adequate to warrant that expenditure of energy?

At the moment, I'm thinking the answer is "on balance, no."

Maybe instead we should be working on getting more of our folks to the SE
karma levels where we can do our own policing. We really don't have enough
people that are active in answering questions in a sustained way.
