What can be done to make the tag synonyms approval process more visible?

If you go to the tag synonym page you'll notice that a synonym proposal by Nick Carver from Nov 2010 still doesn't have any votes (well, I just voted).

I posted a suggestion about making that page more visible hoping that will get more traffic, but that may not be enough.

I do like Alex Lockwood's suggestion about adding the voting directly on the tag page, but still may not be enough.

    One huge limitation is that you can only vote for tags where you have already posted. For example, I can easily see that making "ajaxpro" and "ajax-pro" synonyms would be sensible, but I cannot vote for that because I haven't posted anything about Ajax. After a couple of attempts like that, you just give up.

    It practically takes a moderator on EE.SE to do any real work with the tags with the way things are set up. With no notification to users that a tag synonym suggestion exists, there is no way to draw users to vote on them.

Maybe there could be a new badge introduced for voting on synonyms to make the process move more quickly? It seems really slow but I think it's worthwhile to match synonyms.
