I second this. Even the mailing list will grow, if the karma system will 
just count messages on the list, and not how important they are. Also in 
user feedback at downloads.maemo.org I see the first messages that 
maintainers praise their own work. I really enjoy the effort you at 
Nokia are doing for the maemo project. This is *much* better than 
everything the community got from Sharp with the Zaurus project. But 
please don't overact.
