Ordinarily, when someone volunteers to do something, it's easy to say, "Go for it!" but I don't want to encourage you to do something that will turn out to be a thankless job, will bore you, frustrate you, and make you burn out after a while. I'm seriously afraid of that happening. I'd rather see you do something more satisfying, which will sustain your interest over a long period.

Right now, the method you have suggested implies some self-discipline on the part of Mudcatters. "Suppose I made a thread called 'Threads about busking' that contained 10 links to other threads (and little or no discussion)" - it's the "little or no discussion" part that makes me skeptical. How are you going to get people to refrain from discussing anything?

I once started a thread called Frequently misspelled/confused names, which I hoped would involve "little or no discussion" but look what happened to it! 55 messages and only about 6 of them contain useful information! (OK, part of that is my own fault. For one thing, I posted some wrong information that had to be corrected later. I also replied to some messages I should have ignored.)

I proposed deleting a lot of these messages, but Joe Offer (whom I revere) was against it. His opinion is that you should delete irrelevant messages only if you claim PermaThread status and warn people IN THE VERY FIRST MESSAGE that you're going to do that. And deleting messages is the only way to impose any discipline on Mudcatters. They will ignore, ridicule, or dispute just about anything you suggest that they do, or refrain from doing.

Maybe someday I WILL start a PermaThread on the topic of spelling, and copy the useful information into it, but I'm not ready to take on that project yet.
