I think the primary benefit would be that people who weren't in a position to offer technical commentary but are affected by the issue could vote for it to help raise its profile--especially for the issues that don't affect a majority of users.

Well. I think we should probably have a 'subscribe to this issue' feature, that doesn't involve adding a comment, and just displaying the number of subscribers would already be a pretty good metric of interest in a patch. (ie: it's something we could get for free, from a feature we should probably have already).
