Some of the feedback that ADs get publicly is incredibly harsh; I'd be a little concerned about an unfiltered anonymous feedback path.   So I think there would have to be _some_ filtering mechanism, and a remailer probably wouldn't cut it.

But I do think Randy has a point about nomcom workload.   Maybe we need another committee... ;)
