It would probably be somewhat helpful to DC if there was some way for
the user community to participate in prioritizing bugs; or at least some
way not to decouple the issue and the followups.

There are at least three categories of "important" bugs.

1. Security fixes
2. Bugs affecting a large population of users in perhaps minor ways
3. Bugs affecting a small population in showstopper ways

Number 3 is probably the kind you are talking about here.

How about a ZopeBugs Wiki?

Or some way for zope.org members to "vote," Slashdot-style, resulting in
rating up the bug?

Both are subject to programmatic abuse, of course, but even that
eventuality would be a good indication of the level of someone's
frustration. ;-)
