Does anybody have any data/research that would suggest that voting like this would help much? It sounds nice and all but I'm not sure that we'd gain much from it. I'm fairly certain that the bottleneck is mostly in finding people to actually fix the bug than deciding if we should fix it in the first place. It also seems like it might frustrate users more when there is a bug that has a lot of votes but doesn't get fixed right away (for whatever reason). The only real benifit I see is a psychological one where letting users "vent" in a constructive way helps them feel like they are contributing and it might lower the "me too" noise on the actual bug report.
