We'll see how long this theory lasts when it encounters developers whose code sucks, who know that their code sucks, and are afraid that your actions will point the finger at them. There is little nastier than political infighting from people who know that they are in the wrong. I'd like to suggest that you read The Prince to figure out how to make your hopes more likely to happen. Also you might want to read [link|http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=270083|http://www.perlmonks...pl?node_id=270083] and think carefully about the problem of how to criticize people without getting their egos involved.
Another interesting resource is The Psychology of Computer Programming. Its advice is all good, but you're unlikely to find yourself in a good enough political position to make people do that.
Cheers,
Ben
