I find the idea interesting and positive, but I see a couple of problems: * this may generate frustration among users (why the hell an issue with tens of "likes" has not been solved already? You crappy developers don't listen to us!) * thumbs up is cheap, and does not necessarily reflect real interest. I would be more in favour of an honest expression of interest: I put my money where my mouth is. Can we have a mechanism of donations attached to a articular ticket?
