People working on an embedded target could look at the votes
constrained to bugs which affect only that target.

While that doesn't automatically cause popular bugs to be fixed, it
does gives developers a little more information.  Sometimes that
information can even be used to justify financing work, e.g. from a cpu
manufacturer who has interest in the quality of their port.
