When I emailed Nokia last week asking about whether our unofficial Maemo site could be added to the maemo.org aggregator, they replied that they no longer controlled the aggregator and that I'd have to go through the community channels.
On top of that, it's the community that is deciding who is being sponsored to go to Maemo Summit. Nokia's giving the community more and more control over things... so I don't think the analogy is really quite right.
