I've been thinking on this, and isn't this the purpose of karma weighting?

Given that:

• karma exists specifically for assisting in summit sponsorship and device program decisions

-and-

• the karma weighting system exists so that karma reflects the relative value of various contributions to community

then either:

• karma scores should be used as-is by the sponsorship committee

-or-

• the existing karma weighting system is broken and should be reworked prior to the time when the committee begins making sponsorship decisions
