The users in the canconfirm group have other permissions -- like the ability to
change the resolution of the bug -- that were being abused.  I did look at
recent users of BZ before putting them in the canconfirm group.

Random people can still leave comments (and I think we want to keep that), but
only people in the canconfirm group can close it or otherwise change the
status.

As for confirming bugs, yes, one vote on the bug shouldn't confirm it.  I
hadn't yet spent time analyzing just how that should work.

The unconfirmed/confirmed status could still be really useful, though.  If we
can get 5 votes for the bug or one person with canconfirm to confirm it, then
moving it to "CONFIRMED" would be useful.

My use of confirmed/unconfirmed wasn't really well thought and would have
matured over time, so there is definitely room for improvement.
