This is a great idea in theory, but doesn't always hold up well. With a sufficiently large and old project, and when people move on and off either parts of the code or the entire project regularly...it doesn't hold up as well.
No one may see or touch that code again for years. By the time someone realizes there's a missed edge case or it needs expansion, it may simply be too late. The person that worked on it may be gone completely or haven't worked on that part of the code in those years.
