You need to put your comments in the field marked "Additional Comments",
and then click the "Commit" button underneath the field.

Not yet, Graham... that's the first thing that is going to be added in
the next release (which will probably be a couple of weeks from now).

In Bugzilla, click the link all the way at the bottom of the page called
"My Votes". Then, change the number of votes for the bugs you voted on
to some number less than the number you originally voted. This will give
you back your votes.

In RevZilla, click on the Voting tab and then "Items I Voted On". When
you get the list, double-click on an item you want to remove votes from
and at the bottom of the View Bug palette, use the up/down control to
adjust the number of votes.
