Another thing we could use is the app karma feature (In Downloads). App karma is basically going to show which apps are relevant. (Relative downloads stats, comments and ratings are being used there)

This app karma can be used as a modifier for the actual karma the developer gets for that app. App karma is a float value between 0 and 1.
The most relevant apps with have an app karma value of very close to 1.

Calculation could be then be:

Code:
default karma value per app * app karma.
Example:

Code:
default karma per app = 20

karma for my app X -> 20 * 0.342234 = 7 karma
This would also mean that once your app gets less relevant, your karma for it will go down. It will be more dynamic and your karma will fluctuate a bit.
