I think the idea could work if a set of rules where put out. Mabey a system like the mod application where people could send in a application to be invited to the forum. The person would have to show that they know the inner workings or vB, php, and mySQL. Show some of their work (be it a released hack or their site), and would have to prove they wrote the code.

Im all for it, as long as it dosent turn into a private place where people can flame posters like ubbdev's mod forum (i know a mod over there, there is some nasty stuff in that forum about me. They call me a walking billbord for vB cause i answered a question a guy asked about php.mySQL forums and dident say "oo get ubbthreads....enof about that).
