Pawel,
I am happy to say that the website team is currently in the process of
working on this. We are creating a system which will be borrowing the
best ideas from a range of suggestion systems and idea trackers such
as Ubuntu Brainstorm, Google Moderate and Launchpad Blueprints.
Integration with LibreOffice would be difficult, but it may be
something we could consider in the future.

I have cross posted this in the website mailing list, as at the moment
it is a question of infrastructure rather than marketing.
If you wish to keep track of the progress of the concept and possibly
even contribute to the construction of such a system please feel free
to contact Ben or Narayan on the website mailing list or visit our
wiki page on the development:

Thanks,
Michael Wheatland
