I think this is a very good idea - potentially accelerating testing and committing the most desperately needed patches.
Could we add a Digg-like button to issues that would promote them to a popular issues page?

The only solution to the issue is for every development@drupal.org user to keep a watchful eye to http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&states=8&priorities=&categories=&users= to review the patches submitted. Testing and watching for coding standards then setting the status to RTBC so that the committers can then have a look.
I created myself a service that will notify me of the changes via an aggregated feed and notification by email of the changes. The feed is scheduled for once every ten minutes so that I keep up to date. Sure I might miss one or two that someone else has set to the status something else but then that one is already reviewed.
If your interested, feel free to use the service with the understanding that the service is still in alpha/beta stage but the data is coming in like mad. There are between 5 to 50 requested reviews in a day. I can't get to them all. The service is hosted at http://r-feed.com and is accepting registrations for you convenience.
