For a variety of reasons, how many votes a bug report receives from the sort of people who hang out in bug trackers (as wonderful as those people usually are) is often very different from how important the bug is to the project in general.
This causes people to make useless comments of the form "This bug has X votes, why is it only Medium importance!", which causes more e-mail notifications and slows down the developers further.
It's possible that the extra noise voting would add to the bug tracker would be less than the noise it would subtract from mailing lists like this one. But in the absence of evidence about whether something will help overall, we tend to err on the side of not implementing it.
