Reggie, please aggregate Maemo Talk. Same for everybody sweating to have a good Maemo related blog in place that goes beyond replicating what others already published in an already aggregated source.

Maybe it should be be changed to -- promote / bury. If an item say gets promoted 20 times, that item gets to be automatically displayed in the News section. You should not get negative karma if for 'buried' votes though.
Negative karma for thumbs down was removed a year ago or even before. Thoughtfix has 512 karma today: http://maemo.org/profile/view/thoughtfix/

I'm following the thumbs regularly and I believe readers give thumbs up to original sources and original posts, which actually makes sense. Thumbs down are mostly limited to off-topic or 2 lines posts, which kind of makes sense as well if you want those to stay far from the maemo.org homepage.

If you find a recent case of "injustice" please share the URL.

Brainstorm: no, it's not in the homepage and this is what I'm proposing.

Intro: my proposal will more about removing duplicate information available in the original sources (maemo.nokia.com and Forum Nokia) than about discussing what to put there.
