How the heck do I do that?! The list doesn't even sort by username! So I have to read through every page?

Makes my point exactly. Posting has too much affect on karma. It weights the table towards people who frequent and POST a lot in the forums. (Yes I know their is a brainstorm in progress to try and fix it for the future -- but that doesn't take care of the present)
I created a Brainstorm proposal to discuss awarding Karma based on Thanks (a more useful metric IMO) but so far NO engagement on it...

Quim is also looking for developer love:

Attilla77 is also proposing Brainstorm activity as Karma source:

I think this is a GREAT direction to be going. Whoever started the brainstorm idea was a genius (Quim was that you?) -- I love that we can start getting these minor issues resolved in a constructive manor. But the only point I keep trying to make is that for this time through; since we don't have everything in place (and probably won't) -- we need to make sure we do NOT alienate any of our developers, especially developers of products that are highly rated/used just because they might be anti-social. ;-D
Nathan.

To link your talk.maemo.org account and your maemo.org profile (so you can get karma based off your posts) see here. (And posts here are square-rooted for karma, so it'll take a lot of posts to get 200 points on unthanked posts. Thanked posts are multiplied by 8 so, much easier).
As has been said, some people will always feel they've fallen through the cracks - but do you think it's your job to moan about them on a public forum by purely looking at the karma list?
I would find it boggling if the PyMaemo folks didn't have access to a large number of N900s already. Indeed, Anderson's posts on maemo-developers to address the optification of Python suggest he already has.
The majority of this thread is just so... distasteful.

Well, while some of us Americans are waiting for qgil's response, I'll speculate. Using a percentage ratio I get this:
Nokia USA device discount
= $649 * ( €300 / €499 )
= $390 [60% of retail]
That's %20 more than my 100%-no-brainer-can't-live-without upper bound of $325 [50% of retail].
Let's just make it an even $350 and call it a day.

Some of those folks talk (like me
) but they mostly earned their karma by "harder" means.

200 karma is an extremely LOW bar to set for these discounts. Hell, look at Joshua. Dude's been here all of two or three months and already has more than half the amount of karma needed to get a discount.
poster overall, despite slowing down greatly in recent times... but still just barely made it above the bar,
with 203 (!) karma... go figure :-)
I would like to have one login for both - is that possible?
