Github has stopped displaying vote counts...

All,

I've got good news and bad news.  The good news is that GitHub has
released Issues 2.0, which, among other things, fixes the sorting
options in the issues display, among other goodies.  The bad news is
that they've not only removed the ability to vote on bugs, they've
eliminated the ability to display or sort by existing votes.  As you
may know, I was using votes as a way of prioritizing future
development (and was getting excited about getting to the end of our
recent round of red tape, so we could start closing more of them
down!)

I currently have a request in to github to at least let us know what
the final count was.  Moving forward, it seems that the new interface
can sort by comment count.  I'll probably use that as a proxy for
community interest (feel free to make simple "+1" comments if you feel
the need) for the time being, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Thanks,

   David Saff
