Bryce: the numbers clearly show two things in my opinion:

1) the bugs on top of the list are effectively important bugs, people is
not "voting" randomly. Bug count seems better than vote, even is
technically it is the same thing. So it may be worth to try to start
fixing bugs based on that chart, if point 2 below is addressed;

2) too few people is stating which bugs do they have. We need to
encourage "me too" clicking a lot, e.g. by putting an invitation _not to
post_ "me too" comments but rather click on the me too link, above the
"Add comment/attachment" box, and making the "me too" link big and
visible.

One could also try to gather specifically this "me too" counts by
periodically proposing, *only* in the testing distribution, (e.g.
changing the firefox start page in some special bug days) a short list
of bugs, taken from the packages the user is using, randomly sampled
among the open bugs, with a distribution that makes the choice more
likely, the more "noise" is on the bug (some value computed from
comments, duplicates, subscribers).
