+"Vote" issues give the community and user base the opportunity to voice their opinion about the usefulness of a proposed feature or modification request that the maintainers have chosen not to implement. Maintainers typically have good reason for not accepting such requests, but in the event that enough users deem something useful, it's prudent to take another look. That's where voting comes into play. Vote thresholds for a particular issue are determined by using a number that is roughly 10% of the NPM downloads for the given month that a request is made. If a feature isn't deemed acceptable or widely useful initially, it should meet the criteria of being useful to at least 10% of the user base. Thresholds are never raised, but they can be lowered.
