I think there's a third purpose (related to the second):

To allow members of the community who spot but can't act on
"low-priority" PR opportunities to point them out to others, who might
be interested in taking a crack at them.

By "low priority" opportunities, I mean ones that don't have to be
acted on immediately to reap some benefit.  General, non-immediate,
consciousness-raising things.

As moderator of the comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.announce newsgroup, I see
things like this occasionally.  Unfortunately, I almost never have
time*interest to act on them.
