I have seen voting being recommended as alternative to +1's which is a plus, we have never used them to prioritise although not sure our area of bugs is popular enough to be using votes in that way.
As a developer of a bugzilla client however I have see a major missing feature being the ability to favourite bugs in bugzilla., not to cc and get a baggage of email but somewhere you can keep check on a list of bugs you have an interest in, personally I make a meta bug and block it with bugs I am interested in (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965185) but I could see "vote" being re purposed as favourite very easily On 10 June 2015 at 00:06, Dave Camp <dc...@mozilla.com> wrote: > We don't use bugzilla votes as a strong signal for prioritization on > devtools. > > We do actually keep an eye on votes in some other channels ( > ffdevtools.uservoice.com), but I don't think anyone on devtools would > object strongly to votes going away in bugzilla. > > -dave > > > On Tue, Jun 9, 2015 at 3:48 PM, Axel Hecht <l...@mozilla.com> wrote: > > > I recall that at least one group actively uses votes to prioritize stuff. > > > > I can't really tell which one, I'm leaning towards devtools, but I don't > > have any data to back that up. > > > > I mostly remember because I was surprised. > > > > Also, for a component like devtools, I can see how it'd make sense. > > > > Axel > > > > > > On 6/10/15 12:09 AM, Mark Côté wrote: > > > >> In a quest to simplify both the interface and the maintenance of > >> bugzilla.mozilla.org, we're looking for features that are of > >> questionable value to see if we can get rid of them.
