[Foundation-l] Wikimedia IdeaTorrent?

If you haven't seen it yet, Ubuntu is running an interesting
brainstorming software called IdeaTorrent to think collectively about
common problems and solutions:

http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/

The software:

http://www.ideatorrent.org/

I wonder - would people consider it useful to set up something like
brainstorm.wikimedia.org using this software, or would it be too
duplicative of BugZilla and listservs? The benefit of IdeaTorrent is
that it's very straightforward for non-technical users to contribute
ideas and solutions. And, of course, it could be used for
non-technical problems as well.
