Yeah, it's definitely useful to capture the fact that many users are affected. However, I don't think that simply adding comments is the best way to capture this (in particular because it's pretty unstructured). We've been thinking about ways of doing this that also avoid the annoyance factor in a whiny "fix this plz" comment.
One idea we've tried to develop is that of a specific button, displayed in the main bug page, to say "This bug affects me too". We could even provide a follow-up form that allowed the end-user to continue and provide more information related to the environment in which he is experiencing the error.
We might also be able to use the lesson of the answer tracker in which we allow people to use the submit button to indicate what they are doing together with the comment box. I'm not entirely sure this would work, but it might be worth a mockup.
