if the votes are reset, I'll take it as a huge setback for the users decisions
Resetting votes does not make sense. There is a limit on how many bugs a user can vote for and votes can be reallocated, so it isn't necessarily true that an old bug has more votes just because it's been around for longer. But it's true that we are not advertising the possibility to vote as much as we used to: many new users are likely unaware that they can vote.
[Rob] Google Moderator was far easier to use for users than BZ is. That is why we received far more feedback with Moderator. I'm sorry that the troglodytes don't like that.
Not only troglodytes. Many users interpret the votes in Bugzilla as their opportunity to influence the OpenOffice decisions (and would find offensive to be assimilated to troglodytes). Honestly, except for a couple of occasions years ago when a review of "most voted issues" was done, votes are scarcely taken into consideration. This is the problem.
There is room for improvement here: you once posted the most voted issues, but if we made it regularly and we committed to fixing the most voted issues (or, more realistically, to direct to the most voted issues people who want to help with development or sponsor it), things would improve.
