There has been some related work in the Product Work Group to develop a
User Story tracker which would link "things" like specs, blueprints and
bugs to a User Story so interested communities could find how best to make
an impact. This provides the UC->TC interaction. For the TC->UC we could
propose something akin to the "docs-impact" tag on commits that would
notify the UC that there is a desire for input on say a proposed spec.

Is that getting at what you are proposing?
