Sounds promising to me, I take it that a major goal is to reduce the load on the harvesting master?
Well, we sort of decided on that goal of course when started with the Stewarding Teams. My concern after looking what's happening with the Stewarding Teams is that they're too narrow focused, too few people joining, etcetera. It's the same effect you get when you prematurely split up a mailing list in many little list - traffic just dies out. I'd like to specialize them a little bit less, so that each team has a bit more "body".
But yes, the idea is to make harvesting as a centralized task superfluous.
