I think the importance of the front page is overblown. But I think a larger problem is that if you require multiple people to approve a post for the front page, the front page will become *very* static. It's better (IMHO) to have material that doesn't deserve to be there for a short time than better material that's there too long.
And as far as monks approving thier own posts for the front page? I'm sure it happens very occasionally. Often enough to warrant vrooms investment in time to fix it? I doubt it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
