Whenever you have voting people will assume that the outcome must have
influence. People will think that so long as a bug is voted on enough
its priority will rise until it must be fixed which need not be the case
(popular bugs can remain open for a long time). This just creates angst
and people go on and say "How come this bug with 500 votes hasn't been
fixed? Bug XYZ has less votes so you should be fixing this one." If a
low priority bug has a high number of votes people will become extremely
angry. Trying to shame people into doing things (especially if they are
not being paid) is a dicey business.
