I take it then that the votes in bugzilla "can" be ignored.
But you bring up something very interesting to me. I know that it
is possible to vote on a feature or a bug in bugzilla, and
reportedly is easy to do so. But do you make it just as easy to
know how to contribute money earmarked for said feature or bug?
With votes, an individual should only be allowed to vote once on any
given bug or feature, and limited on how many on which he can vote.
(If I remember correctly, this is how it is set up.) But there
should be no such limitations on monetary "votes". And I think that
it would be a good idea to have something like this: At each place
where one can "vote" on any given bug or feature, perhaps have a
link labeled "How to cast more than one vote on this feature" which
would show them to where they can send money and how to earmark it
for this particular feature. If there is already something similar
set up, then please pardon this. :( I have not voted. ):

I think you guys are doing a bang up job. If I could afford to
contribute anything (money or time), I would. Unfortunately, I do
not currently have that luxury. Therefore, I patiently await any
enhancements you choose.
