Originally we asked for the voting feature for the Extbase bug tracker

I didn't expect this feature to be globally activated for all issue 
trackers, but I think it is rather useful!

by votes [1].

Yes, I think it's a good way to get some feedback - also from the more 
"quiet" part of the community.

Best,
