Why don't we just change the text "vote" to "follow" or
"watch"?

If you vote for a bug then you are automatically
added to the CC list and you it's a nice way to keep track of the bugs you are
interested in using 'My Votes'. However, at first when I saw the votes system, I
too believed that more votes = more quickly done. As this is not the case, removing votes
might be a good way forward.
Actually, when we vote for a bug we are not added to its CC list
(which would cause an email to be sent to everyone already on that
list), but we get followup messages anyway. This way, the votes can
also be used for silently watching some bugs without bothering others
with emails which just say we were added to the CC list...
