the number of people CC'ed to a certain bug is a good measure as well - however, i cant sort on that in bugzilla. also, i may have experienced a particular bug (and CCed to it), but its not a big deal to me. voting allows for a much more fine grained user preference in that case. a user only has 100 votes and can spend max 10 votes on a single bug - you can CC to as many bugs a you want. "me too" is an important information on a bug and between a comment, a CC and a Vote i prefer the votes... Thanks Thilo
