I wrote a patch (in attachment) that attempts to implement both
proposals. The patch includes the documentation in the FAQ.

The patch is available in the GIT branch 'bill-popularity-contest.d'.

Unfortunately I did not check whether the instruction in the FAQ
are working. I would be grateful if you could try them and provide
feedback.
