I actually think the best way to approach this with the minimum work and 
the best reach to
the user(s) and without so much work is to create a preform email form 
that the user fill in their idea
and gets sent to let's say fedora-rfe mailing lists that's sends random 
auto reply back on the form of
thank you for the idea etc.. and the community parses the mailing list 
and filters out those who make sense and forward them
to the right places and deletes those who don't.. Users don't have to 
register or do any work other than double click a icon and fill in the
form and press send as they do with email every day.and if it bothers 
them they can either delete the icon or remove it from the bar..
 and developers wont get bother with anything that is not interesting..
Every idea thats gets accepted will be posted on fedora project page and 
thanks given to the person that came up with the idea ( thanks goes to
Mary from Atlanta her idea has been accepting and is being developed and 
incorporated into the next release of fedora etc..) and those
who worked on making it happen...

The whole brainstorm web idea is flawed from my perspective, letting 
users register to just send their idea of the moment, the amount of work 
to 
design, code and run/manage such a website, when heck of hell we even 
could let the spam filter, filter out whatever we want text string 
including "mp3 support" etc..

Don't make things complicated for the end user if they don't have to be....
