Then, when a certain Soultion has garnered enough support, it can be copy/pasted to the original bug report, with a link back to the popular solution.

While the idea is nice in theory, in practice it has its problems.

Bugs are bugs, and the ones that must be addressed by the Maemo team can be cloned to our internal bugzilla, where they can be handled just like the rest of bugs detected in our internal testing.

But bug reports containing actual features can't follow the same ath because they will be quickly resolved as INVALID in the internal bugzilla, no matter how rude that is and most probably before catching the attention of anybody involved in roadmapping and planning of new features.

Besides, while most bugs in the pre-installed software must be fixed by the Maemo team or surrounding, the implementation of new features can be done many times by others as well.

It's actually a quite different game.
