managing product feedback

Hi -

I'd be interested to hear how various people are managing all the
product feedback they receive from stakeholders and customers.
Custom databases, spreadsheets, commercial products, whatever...

I'm trying to establish a process with a very vocal and enthusiastic
customer-base, and there are lots of ideas coming in from all
quarters. Any insight into different techniques for prioritizing and
organizing appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael
