You (and everyone else) were previously able to vote on bug. However, devs doesn't really care about those vote. A bug was not prioritize because of it's amount of vote which was confusing for some users. So, vote was disable entirely, hence why you receive those email
devs doesn’t really care about those vote.
Maybe instead of disabling votes, they could better take user input about the severity into account...
They usually estimate the severity themselve or bump it if they see a lot of duplicate (doesn't mean you should duplicate on purpose)
There's a difference between a severe bug and a bug that a lot of people would want to see resolve.
But at the end of the day, keep in mind they all dev do it because they want to, nobody force them, so we should be glad to have what we already have imo

Yeah, it would be great if that would be taken into consideration as well.

Several developers are being paid to work on KDE software from money me and others spent.
Yeah but several exact same emails about the same bug
Yeah, I don't know about that
I've seen on the Matrix chat that this should no longer happen in the future, if I understood correctly
I got a ton of similar emails, they must be doing some backlog maintenance of some kind.
Yup, got at least 46 emails about this today. But as someone said, the devs haven't cared about votes in the tracker for a long time.
I also got a couple this morning
KDE is an international technology team creating user-friendly free and open source software for desktop and portable computing. KDE’s software runs on GNU/Linux, BSD and other operating systems, including Windows.
If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.
If it hasn't, report it yourself.
PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
