I'm not sure what makes you think "an ineffective and bureaucratic TB" would do a good job with this. After all, there are many barriers and levels of bureaucracy that would stand in the way of creating a truly valuable listing of threads. Would we have to vote on which threads would be included? What if there's not agreement? This might be a good task for some maverick FlyerTalkers, but given the layers of bureaucracy, I see more issues than value with this proposal.

Wouldn't you agree?

Not really. I don't think this is the type of activity that would be held up by the bureaucracy. The TB could even delegate individuals (moderators?) to provide threads from their forums to be included, taking TB out of the searching effort.
