Task #2551
closed
I still do not think this is a good idea. It would require changing the way development is done. It would require developers & their employing companies to buy into this new system of fixing popular bugs.
I would say the first step would thus be: get all the companies on board the new development model where most popular bugs are fixed.
Then the second step would be how to determine the most popular bugs.
Voting could or could not be implemented as a solution based on these steps.

I don't understand this (and other comments made about this voting feature). This doesn't change any way development is done.
It just gives users a way to say: This issue affects me / is important to me. I find that valuable feedback.
Developers are free to consider that, or ignore it.
It also should prevent some +1/me too comments.
Personally if I have to choose tasks, I like to browse the tasks with most people in CC because I want to see which bugs really bother people. The voting feature would help there for example.
Btw Launchpad has a similiar way for users to say "This bug affects me", see e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/nlpsolver/+bug/910143
If it helps you can rename "Vote for this bug" to "This bug affects me".
- Status changed from New to Closed
That would be prevented by avoiding the misleading term "vote" and use "this affects me" or something.
But anyway, if QA is against this, I'll close it. Didn't think this was such a big issue.
