It's been strongly opposed in the past, check list archives.

I continue to think it's a bad idea. "Me too" comments are always on the
most idiot bugs that least need "me too" comments, and voting is surely
the same basic thing as a "me too" comment.

If someone wants to have input they should join the bugsquad and put the
bug on a release critical list or other useful query...

Or vote with patches or other meaningful assistance...
