I am all for it. And I am still of the opinion that more people would 
vote if there was an easier voting mechanism.

I had already implemented a prototype of an e-mail voting system, where 
proposals would be send in mail (in addition to be put on the wiki) and 
people would just have to hit "reply" and add a +1, -1, or 0 (abstain) 
to the text in order to vote, but got distracted later on.
The results would then be displayed in a web interface.

This would get us more than the usual 3-6 votes per proposal, I know 
that I would vote more if it were that easy.

What do people think of this?
