Well, said developer could post a notice saying, 'Hey, this has been in
-current for X time, who wants to test and possibly MFC?'

Well, my view of it was for it to be something done on an individual
basis, not across the board.  I vaguely recall some way in CVS to run a
program on every commit (not the commitinfo file, a way on a per-user
basis), or you could just manually run a quick script after you commit if
if's a -stable candidate.

No, it's certainly not a perfect system, and it's not meant to be, but
it's an easy way to remind yourself individually and refresh your memory.
