Already in place - from my post:
There remains at least one element which could loosely be seen as
a sort of voting: a bug's CC list.
Usually an address will wind up there after that person has
experienced the bug, searched the DB for it, and found that it had
been reported. When that happens organically, the number of people
subscribing to a bug can be a useful addition that, with the other
details of the report, help the team evaluate priority.
And being a single value per user, it's a single signal rather than
a conflation of two different signals as the old form with multiple
votes did, so it's more immediately clear what it's signifying.
