Description dridgway 2005-10-24 20:02:26 UTC 
Important outstanding issues tend to get reported multiple times. When the
duplication is found, one of the reports gets closed as a duplicate. The problem
is that the votes for the closed report do not seem to get transferred to the
open report, resulting in possible underappreciation of the importance of an
issue to the community. The workaround is to find everyone who voted on a report
and get them to switch their votes.

An example is issue 4849, with 32 votes, which was closed as a duplicate of
issue 20496, with 13 votes.

Hello dridgway,

This is true. I also see the need for votes to be transferred to the "mother" 
issue. I checked the Issue database and it seems that there has been a 
discussion about this earlier (issue 22519).
 
I am therefor setting this issue as a duplicate of Issue 22519.

Regards,

A.Y.K. Jong

The Issue you raised has been marked as 'Resolved' and not updated within the
last 1 year+. I am therefore setting this issue to 'Verified' as the first step
towards Closing it. If you feel this is incorrect, please re-open the issue and
add any comments.

Many thanks,
Andrew
