Without voting, how do you direct users to express an interest in seeing a bug solved without adding a "me too" comment?
Maybe the answer is that we don't. We just need to be honest - it would be very difficult to create a fair system that could be used in a valid way.
Allowing votes by users that then don't actually get looked at or considered, is just misleading the user who's taken the time to create an account, sign-in and then vote.
Replying to this got me thinking - what about changing "vote" to "I have this issue" similar to support.mozilla.org. However, I think the usefulness would end up in the same way as voting.
As a suggestion though, how about adding something near the comment box - like a checkbox or button which says "I have this issue and wish to receive updates about it". If it was a checkbox, it could disable the comment box.
I'm not sure if that could also be misleading, but the intention would be to add an option for a user to give them something other than just the comment box - which at the moment, is the only real obvious "associate me" with this bug option.
