Yes, there are bugs with thousands of votes, but that just shows the scope of effect of a particular bug.
I'm not sure where you got that idea:
http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&votes=100&o...
Looked at the list and one of the bugs has over 150 votes and it was
CLOSED DUPLICATE and the votes were not moved to the original bug. This is another shortcoming of using bug voting that exists or existed in Bugzilla.
I think Launchpad has the exact same issues but somehow in Ubuntu the voting is much more useful than in Bugzilla...
One of the best ways to trace a common mistake in Ubuntu right after the release is to look at the votes, these issues usually get a lot og attention and they automatically get a higher priority...
