Bugs in Bugzilla Was Re: Hello from a Filemaker renegade (Geoff Canyon)

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Hi guys,


After seeing some blocking bugs (that crash RR) that never got a reply,
it would be nice to know how to make issues that are important and cause
delays in software delivery be responded sooner. 

Votes on a bug seem to be more important that bug criticallity it seems.

If I lay 90 of my votes on a bug, will it be answered faster? 
Do I get my points back after the problem is solved?

Thanks for any hints!!
Xavier
