Whether reassigning votes or something else, I think there should be some way to translate imprecise requests so that the intent is not lost.

What if someone wants the stylus keyboard (closed in Diablo, removed from Fremantle) opened up, but doesn't know what component(s) that implicates? What happens? Does their vote get discarded because they haven't made it correctly? Do they get a PM asking them to identify the component(s)? etc.

Edit: refer to prior comments here:
