I fail to see a "problem". Most if not all developers won't fix bugs based on 
popularity votes. And even if you or one other developer does look for votes, 
over time the most voted issues would be difficult or questionable feature 
requests that are left at the top of the list indefinitely.

Not very helpful.

IMO, that's actually much more relevant - it tells us if many people have 
opinions one way or the other on the bug / comment / MR.

It's not like anyone except maybe you and a few other devs scour through all 
bug reports to vote on them, so relative bug scores are pretty meaningless.
