Re tracking and organizing diggs
Digger & baker here.
Best way i know to where the "holes" are is using Qresear.ch. Just enter a search term in the search box, then when all the posts are listed, use f3 to narrow the search. You'll know exactly what's been done both here and on other boards. And what needs digging. Go pick any topic and search in QResear.ch--full of great diggs that can be usefully dug on for many purposes (also keeps anons from reinventing the wheel).

Some anons may not be familiar with qresear.ch if they're newish but bakers use it for checking for duplication (espec. for posts that are just links to articles and nothing moar; we don't know those posted over and over--or posted from many different anons). Many thx to ResignationAnon, who developed it.

Another suggestion is for the anons who are really deep into a digg (or into anything--like a meme campaign) to collect buns of relevant posts. We did this for "muh Russia" campaign in Jan--an oldfag showed me, it was really helpful, we just kept tagging the older buns and listing them in newer posts. Usually, one person does this. sometimes bakers do too but only if there's time, bakers are busy.
In this example, one person took that responsibility. This is not something assigned, people just do it if they want.

Also, if a post is part of a digg, i also use formatting to alert the baker:
Caravan funding DIGG, con.t
so the post gets picked up by baker; otherwise, half the time they don't know why you're posting something if you don't give at least a little info. 
Example: Someone just posted 3 posts on the Parthenon last night with no explanation--i had to ask what it was about, another anon said it related to the Albert Pike digg. Take a look (search on "Pike")
But if you don't tell the baker, he's wondering WTF???

RE top-down vs organic/bottom-up organizing:
Q work is all volunteer and always organic, there are no bosses here, just anons using their brains and intuitive to decide what needs doing. Don't need a manager when you've got all the anons on the board happy to call you out if there's no sauce, or the sauce is iffy ("sorchafaal").  Some anons just go get a bunch of leads and and list them for anons to follow up on. I do that when baking a slow bred.

It's all spontaneous and on-the-fly, but very, very effective. When you bake, you really get a sense of how incredibly rich our database really is. And how resourceful anons can be.
