Sure but it depends on the community, if we have the same community
than here I feel that a Wiki is a good choice and that the problems
you are afraid of are unlikely to happen.

And it can be exactly as what you liked in the thread based
discussion, the RCR will be writeable by the author and some admins
only, and everybody else will just join the discussion page of the
RCR,  what'd you think about that format, I feel it would be one
possible approach.
