Why doesn't it?  Enough votes cause a bug to be automatically confirmed, and
the bug reporter's bug is just as valid as anybody elses.

What the sense of confirmed bug status if u can confirm your own bugs? Somebody
else should do it.

A person with enough bugzilla privileges already does a job of confirming
a bug once there is a comment from another person who is able to reproduce
the problem. Voting adds nothing except useless e-mail spam.

You cannot confirm your own bugs unless you have triage or higher access.  This
bug is not confirmed.

In rare cases the bugs do get confirmed by votes.  Theoretically it's a useful
idea, but as you say, the Wine triage team are pretty on-the-ball.

Perhaps voting should simply be disabled, or all emails about them should be
suppressed?  It does seem fairly pointless getting emails about votes.

Either way, the reporter's vote is just as valid as yours or mine.

Can we close this yet?  It's still not a useful request.
