How 'bout the users who want this start a campaign to donate $5K or so to the Wine Party Fund, with the stipulation that it be used to fix this bug?
Be careful. While some developers may appreciate a bounty-driven working environment that rewards them for focusing on what the community wants, others may find it either insulting, or at least reflective of a misunderstanding of why a given bug hasn't been fixed. You may want to ask a more general question of what you can do to help the developers fix the problem.
