In general I think that Bugzilla works for this. It has a Voting
feature, but my feeling is that more people could know about it. I also
had one reporter who has confused by the Voting UI in Bugzilla I have to
admit - after clicking on "Vote for this bug" a table with all your
former votes will be presented, but there's also a "Enter New Vote here
→" which makes it clear to me.

However, if "brainstorming" should also cover "vague" requests like
"Make boot time 15 seconds faster" or "foo-daemon should die because it
never works for me", I definitely have to become more tolerant and not
close directly as INVALID explaining that it's a vague and unhelpful
request. ;-)
