I like this idea too, since it would allow better prioritization of bugs, and maybe help for a better planning of releases in the future. Unfortunately, to really avoid abuse, this would end in the necessity to introduce some kind of registration and login mechanism to the BTS.
What about a simpler solution for the beginning? Assumed that annoying bugs have more replies, the bugs could be sorted by the number of replies to get an idea of their priority. This faces towards the idea of sending a "Me too" follow-up as proposed by Paul, which is less anonymous than a "vote" button which everyone can push randomly, but still can be used by each user through the BTS mail interface. Just some thoughts.... Regards, Andreas Margarita Manterola wrote: [...]

Although I like the general idea, I think that just having a "button" for that would be too simple for this to get abused. So this should be a compromise between a simple enough system that allows people to indicate the also experienced this, and complex enough that it doesn't get abused by people (or robots, actually) randomly clicking buttons.
