How to make bugs 'more important'?

Post by Doc BlackMind »

Hi there!
I wondered what I - as an end user - could do to make sure a bug is seen as more important. There is one specific bug in which being fixed I'm very interested... I already "voted" for it, but I'm not sure how important the votes are. And I think it might be against the etiquette if I add a "still not fixed" to the bug with every new wine version.
So what else could I do (I'm not a programmer)?

I'm only a user myself, and so far I've found the best thing you can
do is giving more detailed test reports, finding workarounds, etc :)
confirm bugs for new versions of wine as well

Providing the needed traces always helps. Putting a 'still not fixed'
message once or so a month isn't too much. Keep in mind that wine is a
volunteer project (mostly), so people work on what they're interested
in. Try finding someone that can program that the bug affects ;-)
