Only if similar numbers of people work on each side. With thousands or millions of developers to a handful of reviewers, it may go as well as Google's other attempts at human support (read: terrible).

Charge money for that. If an app takes days to make, then you can also to pay for an hour of reviewers work if you want to distribute it to the public.

A non-prohibitive barrier to entry wouldn't be a big issue, as users in general want stricter filters that mean less shitty apps instead of looser filters that mean simply more apps.
