No. While tracking this would be interesting, it's not a really high
priority for me, as maintainers typically don't consider the
popularity of a bug report when considering which bugs to work on (and
often, if it's popular enough, it tends to affect someone who cares
enough to actually send it a patch or fix the bug directly.)
That said, if this is something that strongly interests you, I would
certainly accept patches that would introduce a log parser and a
method of indicating the popularity of a bug report in the pkgreport
pages and status output.
