Does this process really work though?

How many people actually vote on bugs.  It seems that individuals report the 
same issue on duplicate bug reports, and it seems it's now up to the community 
to detect those dups.  The only chance for multiple votes is if the original 
supporter advertises the issue on the forums.

Actually, I had a look at numbers of votes per bug report.  There are 235 that 
have 3 or more votes.  Every single one of them has a status of NEW.  i.e. none 
of them are even assigned to be processed.

Some bug reports have a lot of votes.  eg. bug 112 "sort albums by year".  This 
bug is over 6 years old and has 61 votes!!!

So, even if there are 3 or more votes and the bug gets confirmed, there appears 
to be little chance of it getting progressed any further.
