YouTrack votes

So, I don’t want to be “that guy” who demands the developers work on his pet feature just because it has X votes on the bug tracker, but I would like to know what the policy is for evaluating votes in terms of feature priority. Is the number of votes on an issue important to the team, or is it mostly of peripheral interest?

I’m specifically thinking of KT-4895 and KT-11968, which have the highest number of votes in the tracker right now.
