So I would suggest to only allow people to put money into one big box and rely on the board to distribute the money. If they decide to fund bling that's cool, but at least they will most likely not forget about priorities.
Alternatively, make one big box with explanations, why this or that "boring" feature is important and how it benefits users in the end + add roadmap for exciting features or, if applicable, make it possible to vote for shiny stuff to be done _after_ important boring work is over,
In essence that's the same, it's one fund that gets distributed, just the time point when the distribution gets decided upon is different: you argue for doing it in advance while I said it might be done afterwards. I (*) am fine with both (as long as adjustments are allowed when needed).

(*) ... while being fully aware that I have no say in that. I am a firm believer that developers should have all the power in free software and pure users have the obligation to keep their mouth shut. People have to earn their right to vote. This is not a democracy. There, I did it again and made myself unpopular. :)
