Not as much as it could. Saying "me too", or voting/confirming a bug are
not really useful unless you can add more insight to it. Better to
ensure that when the developer looks at it, that he has something to
work with, than to make him look at a whole bunch of bug reports that
have information on how to reproduce the bug.
