Yes, that's how we did it.

Not exactly... somone (up until the last time, Kern counted) counts the 
votes, and the results are then manually posted to the web page.

As voting takes lace only about nce a yaer, that was reasonable.

Well, as you see, it would :-)

To clarify things a bit:

Currently, I only plan to manage the feature requests and the voting 
process.

For that purpose, I'm looking for a solution to collect and present 
feature requests, preferrably in the format they are in now (i.e. 
Description, detailed notes, status and people working on it). The 
voting functionality should be included, so that, for each voting 
period, any (registered) user can vote for a number of features, can 
assign weights to the votes, and the solution adds the votes up correctly.

I'm not too eager to install a complete CMS plus add-ons, or bugzilla, 
or something similarly oversized. As of now, I don't see an out-of-the 
box solution, and I think that creating a tailored voting solution would 
not be unrealistic, but I'm still open for suggestions.

Arno
