Bugs are not fixed because someone votes that they be fixed, and this would
not be changed if the bugzilla voting feature is enabled. They are fixed
because someone contributes a fix.
If you are not capable of producing a fix yourself, and you work for a
company that has a financial interest in improvements to the sh4 target,
hiring a consultant is a possibility.
But if you think that Bugzilla voting is going to speed up bug fixes to
an embedded target, I'm afraid that you would be disappointed. Even if
voting did affect the priority assigned to bugs, people interested on more
widely used platforms would outvote you.
