And how would you make people look at the tweet instead of the captcha?
Honestly, my opinion about it is: If you want do build it, do it. No
one here will stop you.

It's because people who are new, or considered new due to few posts, are
automatically put in the moderation queue. There are several of us, but
obviously this is a fairly busy group and we might not get to a message
immediately as it arrives (or be immediately able to promote a subscriber
to non-moderated). This group gets a lot of spam, which I'm sure people are
delighted not to be seeing anymore.

The question I have is how you would enforce this?

In my experience the best way to get new followers is not to ask for
them, either directly or through using any service with the sole
purpose of allowing you to pimp yourself as worth following. If you're
worth following people will follow. It's then up to you whether you
reciprocate or not. Personally I look their last few pages and base my
decision on that. If I'm not interested in that then there's no value
in my following them.
But that's just the way I see it.

How many people has this worked for? From what I understand, people
with a huge number of followers on twitter were already famous before
using twitter.
Absolutely. Be interesting, that's all it takes. And since everyone
deems interesting as something different it's not as hard as it
sounds. And huge is what you define it to be. If you're using Twitter
purely to get followers, IMHO you're not worth following. It's not a
popularity contest.
If you feel the need to force it, are you really providing value to
others?
Speaking of popularity contests, my latest Twitter-based project is
currently in private(ish) beta. To check it out sign up to the
following Google Group for access details: http://groups.google.com/group/twitorfit
- launching publicly at Twinterval on Monday.

"Need" seems like a strong word.

eg.
I use search.twitter.com or look in the public feed or look for people
my friends are following who are saying interesting things to me. I
@reply to one of their tweets. They @reply back to me because I said
something interesting and worthwhile. Their followers see the @reply,
wonder what it was a reply to, find me, then start following and
@replying me.
And thus twitter expands exponentially (well, sort of).
Start using twitter to have the conversations you are interesting in.
If you engage with interested people, they will listen.

As with other people on the list I encourage you to develop something
if you believe it will add value to the Twitter ecosystem. However,
based on your description of what you're thinking I think you would
benefit from reversing the PR pitch to helping users find people to
follow rather than helping users get followers. It's a much better
proposition.
