However, bugs are a more structured space than wishes. I'd suggest Brad to
enable the voting feature experimentally and with an understanding there's

what bugs are the most annoying, and I'm sure Walter could use such
information to good effect.
Sure, let's give it a try.
Ok, enabled for the D product. Each registered user has 10 votes and can
vote only once per bug. As examples, I voted for bugs 313 and 314.
You can use this query to get a sorted list of bugs on which there are at
least one vote:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&votes=1&order=bugs.votes,bugs.bug_id
To construct the query yourself: on the advanced search page, put a 1 in
the "Only issues with at least ___ votes" box.

I'd like to suggest that 'umbrella' sorts of bugs are off limits for
votes. Those are good tracking issues, but aren't the sort of things that
are generally addressed as a specific fix.
An example, sorry Bill: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1856
Maybe better said: I suspect that Walter is unlikely to take votes for
those sorts of bugs seriously and the impact votes might have at all are
better placed on individual specific issues.
Just a thought,
Brad
It's a good thought. In that vein, it would be nice to have negative
vote, e.g. assert that a bug is not important. To build good statistics
I suggest therefore (a) unlimited votes per user; (b) one vote per user
per bug; (c) a vote can be 0 (neutral, implied); -1 (unimportant for
me); 1 (important for me).
