If the GCC developers think turning on voting would be useful to them, I
would be all for it. Whether users think it's a good idea, I think,
should not be relevant.
If it is turned on, we need to be sure that expectations are set correctly
("Mommy, they fixed Johnny's bug, even though Billy had more votes!
Unfair! I'm telling RMS!").

I don't supposed this could be helped by calling it something like "lobbying" using "lobby-votes" or some such (PLUS appropriate explanatory language somewhere)? The word "voting" by itself tends to make people think they get to decide.
