Comment (by coffee2code):

 The general functionality of such a feature is fairly straightforward, but
 to explicitly outline some of the requirements/features:

 - For logged-in users, each photo should have a heart icon
 indicator/button that denotes whether the user has favorited the photo
 already or not.
 - For visitors who are not logged in, no heart icon should appear.
 - Clicking on the heart icon should toggle the favorite status of the
 photo for the user. If JS is enabled, this should ideally be done
 asynchronously. If JS isn't enabled, this should function through a page
 reload.
 - For logged-in users, a "Favorites" link should be added to the site
 navbar, linking to an archive of the photos the user has favorited.
 - A URL endpoint (e.g. `wordpress.org/photos/favorites/` should exist to
 redirect to an archive of the current user's favorited photos. If visited
 by a visitor who isn't logged in, then the endpoint can redirect to the
 site's front page.
 - Each user should have a publicly accessible URL endpoint to view that
 user's archive of favorited photos (e.g.
 `wordpress.org/photos/favorites/coffee2code/`).
 - There should be a feed available of each user's favorites (e.g.
 `wordpress.org/photos/favorites/coffee2code/feed/`)
 - Internally, the users who favorited a given photo should be reasonably
 obtainable. And the photos that a given user favorited should be
 reasonably obtainable.
 - If a photo is deleted, any users who may have favorited that photo
 should no longer reference the deleted photo as a favorite.
 - In admin listings that include published photos, there should be a
 favorites column that shows the count of number of users who favorited the
 photo.
 - The edit photo page should also show a count of the number of users who
 have favorited a photo.

 As a natural follow-up to this (and thus separate), the profile (at
 profiles.wordpress.org) of users should eventually list recently favorited
 photos and link to the user's archive of favorited photos.

 Making use of favorited photos (including presenting a count of the number
 of users who favorited a given photo, creating a view of the most
 favorited photos, etc) beyond what is outlined above is best left for
 consideration in the future once time has been given for photos to be
 favorited by more people and for displaying such a count to be
 consistently implemented across the various directories.
