Just reiterating the point just in case in was missed in my previous post. This quote worries me a bit

- Get interesting deals cutting down entry costs for anybody loving Maemo and having difficulties paying the full prie of a device.

- Maybe something like a maemo.org voucher for contributors with +nnn karma can be done.

And leave Forum Nokia for Forum Nokia users. It will be your choice to join their programs or not.
It is always great to find another way to help developers and I'm all for the listed stuff, but shouldn't really Nokia re-think some stuff behind DDP, Forum Nokia etc. (OVI store requirements mentioned elsewhere)? IMO times are changing. I wonder how many apps in iphone store are produced by commercial/for profit entities that can treat devices as disposable things and how many of them are done by hobbyists? What made sense with Symbian few years ago makes less sense today.
