Do you see such kind of bitching anywhere in the kde project? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
On the bugs where I looked I dont see anything, seems like people know |
| 30 |
that voting wont count as a means of pressure for developers. |

Many bugs in bugzilla have ebuilds contributed, the work is done, |
| 37 |
there is just no developer to add them to the tree and review them. |
| 38 |
Bugvoting would allow other developers to see where they can help. For |
| 39 |
example I am using kde but dont read all kde bugs, so if I would know |
| 40 |
there is a kde bug with many votes I would maybe look at it. |

We can alternatively introduce a customilzable Bugzilla, developers |
| 47 |
who dont want to see Votes can turn them off and will not see the Vote |
| 48 |
counts for bugs :) |
