I thought Mozilla does it 1-per-bug, but I guess I'm mistaken. KDE works well with 20-per-bug. I'm cool with it either way. Any reasonable value will probably work. I gave that example to show how I would set it up-- starting at one vote per bug and changing it later if users request it. I prefer incremental approaches (starting small and working up as the needs dictate). sj7trunks is responsible for maintaining bugzilla... so I believe he'd also be setting that value, if voting gets implemented; and I hope it does. Voting is a low cost, low impact tweak to give the users a way to help steer the things we're working on.
