[TYPO3-core] Better usage of votes on Forge

[Tolleiv Nietsch]

Hi,

@Bastian - would be very interesting to know whether the extbase team 
members actually really used that and what the conclusions from that are 
(response times, max votes on urgent issues, falsely overrated issues, 
....) ??

@Francois - nice idea but to be honest this needs a lot of education on 
the users and the core-devs site and I wonder how this could be achieved 
easily. I doubt that a simple news article will help very much.

 From my perspective it's more the task of release managers, team 
manager(s) and friendly ghosts (?) to "organize" the work of the devs 
and to keep them focussed (e.g. on a bug-"topic" or important topics). 
People's votes are nice but won't allow us to keep any focus and I guess 
that's what we actually would want to achieve to get things going.

Cheers,
Tolleiv
