Back in the old days LC/RR had a voting system on bugzilla. You had five
votes you could allocate to bug reports, and this gave an indication of
how many people were affected by a given bug. Since you have a limited
number of votes, you get to select your Top Five - if a bug no longer
affects you as much you can rescind that vote and allocate it to another
report. I think reinstating this would be part of the solution.
But there's another quantitative ranking which has to come from the
team, and that involves both bug severity and urgency/priority. I think
with those three vectors of information (and perhaps a fourth, an
estimate of the amount of work required to address the bug; although
I've always hated to have to estimate that and end up being wildly
optimistic) it might be possible to have a reasonable estimate of what
it would take to get a given bug fixed.
I'd totally forgotten about the Bugzilla voting system. I liked that approach
as well and agree that bringing it back could help both us and LC to prioritise
fixes. I like your other suggestions as well. Hopefully the additional workload
(for LC) to implement them would be manageable though and wouldn't place
unnecessary additional strain on their bug fixing efforts ;)
