I proposed some other more constructive feature than the "embarrassment"
rating tool before. Unfortunately it will never be implemented unless
Canonical or somebody else will fund the development.

While it is actually not that complicated to implement, it certainly
would be a great help for Ubuntu as much as for the Kernel developers
itself.

Bug #3382 - Should be able to attach hardware database id to bugs

It proposes to enable bug reporters to more easily submit hardware
information to bug reports. And giving the devs an easier way to query
which hardware is affected.

Step one: Add a GUI driven software to the Ubuntu distro which enables
users to submit their hardware information to a central database.

Step two: Allow the users to attach the DB IDs to their launchpad
profile (multiple if needed).

Step three: Allow the user to select which of his machines are affected.

Step four: Allow the bug fixers to retrieve a list of affected hardware
for a bug from launchpad. Like: give me all USB chipsets of machine IDs
attached to this bug.

This at least would give bug fixers a hint, where to start looking.
