(Get the code!)
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).
