These are the results of the votes. The first column shows the total number of
points for a feature. This includes the negative votes, which are mentioned in
parenthesis.
The "voters" column shows the number people who voted for this feature
and the number of voters that voted against this feature (with a minus sign).
Thus this ignores the number of points someone has given.
If you want to vote for Vim features, you have to become a registered Vim user
or sponsor. See the sponsor page.
