I think it could be helpful for screening first time contributions at the very least. You're right that a cultural solution is necessary, but in the mean time one way to deal with bias when you know you are biased is to remove the ability for it to operate (when practicable). Otherwise, you're stuck in this zone where you know you're liable to make bad decisions, but you rationalise to yourself that you can correct them. No matter how you slice it, it's never going to be possible to exactly correct for your biases, you're going to undershoot or overshoot. Better to minimize their scope of operation. I really like this line of thinking because it crashes into this realm of philosophy where some people think you can feel your way to a good result, whereas the other approach is to initially intuit the just result, and rationally design a system that achieves it regardless of your instantaneous emotions. Of course, such systems thinking is very very sensitive to getting the right intuition up front, so it's very important to train it and build in feedback systems in case you start getting things you didn't expect.
