I also like the concept. Along this line, I would think Bug Fixes should take higher priority than New Feature Requests or Enhancements. The fine line is that sometimes people have different perception of "bug" or "enhancement" from different position, a source of dispute. Learning from experience, personally I'd rather find a way to get around a problem myself than asking MM to fix it, this route seems more productive but not the best option.
Oh, some categorization may also help.
