Ok, but the discussion is using flag to help prioritize the workflow.  
I don't disagree with that in total but unless more are willing to 
review, test and participate in the issues then this discussion is 
pointless.  There are some bugs that just require a quick review of the 
coding to say this makes too much sense to not patch it and 
prioritization for this type of bug fix using flag makes no sense at 
all.  We just need to get the sucker committed; therefore, the best 
flag for issues is RTBC.

Using a socialization voting flag for feature requests would definitely 
be the thing to do.  As long as the feature request doesn't already 
have a patch.  Once an issue has a patch the reviewing and testing the 
patch is the only course of action that should be taken.  Patches need 
reviewed, not voted on.
