A good idea but it may exclude some free-media contributor(s) from 
helping if it was set in stone, if there was no requestors from their 
area\country.

You can set a query that may narrow your search patterns, iirc?

I don't think everyone will be able to spend time in searching for the person belonging to their state or comes under the location opted by them.

As point 1 above

As it's a voluntary action, I don't think it should be enforced,
as at a particaular quarter circumstances may not be suitable for 
various reasons. Though privatly an email should be sent to see if 
he\she is ok? (not as a rminder though), by the co-ordinater.

As per a previous thread in the list:

it's akin to
  "How long is a piece of string".
They all help out in different ways.
