Two things. First, technically, the bug tracker already has "stars". It's the nosy list. You can even run a search by nosy count. Second, I'm not sure starring matters that much. Ultimately, for something to be done, you need a patch. Sure, sometimes, the patch is going to be made by someone who has no interest in it, but I think most of the time the patch is submitted by someone wanting the patch to be applied. I don't think the number of stars affect the likeliness of a patch being created very much. Maybe you can point to a google code project for which starring is used intensively and to observably good results?
