Definitely. At some point, I stumbled across a bug report that expressed utter surprise about the fact that not even the author voted on it. Since then, I began to vote on my own reports, sometimes, and indeed, this is a commonplace practice, as I was able to observe. But the "popular vote" bit of the confirmation statement does indeed suggest that the reporter should be excluded from the set of voters. (Notice that without that, there is nothing logically wrong about the reporter expressing his/her interest in getting *any* bug report closed, including their own.) Let me also mention that a new version of Bugzilla got released recently. Maybe some things became easier to configure now. Poor Sam ;-) Best, Piotr
