[QGIS-Developer] Issue priorization for bugfixing: go flag your favorite issues

[Matthias Kuhn]

Yesterday at a dinner with many well known friendly faces, a discussion 
started about the priorization of issues.

One of the main problems when deciding which issues to tackle is, that a 
developer perspective often differs from the one from the average user 
perspective.

So we thought it might be a good idea to start giving our users a bigger 
voice in how bugs are prioritized - and how the projects funds are spent 
- by giving the developers more information about the "impact footprint" 
of issue reports.

*In short: if you particularly hate an issue (or two or three) go to 
this issue on github and just give the first post of it a thumbs up**👍**.*

The following link will then show the leaderboard of annoying things

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc+label%3ABug

While there is no guarantee that these bugs really will be solved first 
(there are a couple of other things also to take into account, like a 
well defined solution being at hand) this should give us a much better 
(democratic) idea of the often-cited user expectation.

Thanks for reading

Matthias
