Since I haven&#x27;t noticed anyone mention it directly while advocating for voting functionality: GitHub issues originally had voting. The feature was removed with the release of Issues 2.0. Back when the GitHub blog had comments, the Issues 2.0 announcement&#x27;s comments included this one from pjhyett (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20110412131836&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;831-issues-2-0-the-next-generation#comment-11407" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20110412131836&#x2F;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.co...</a>)<p>&gt; <i>Issue ordering and voting were used by an incredibly small number of users and we made the decision to drop them. Leaving features in that only ten people use is how to create Jira, not GitHub.</i><p>Obviously, that was a while ago and things might be different now.
