What about to counteract "misplaced" karma? Example:
- Bug exists in version X.Y
- Update filed for X.Y+1
- User reports that bug still exists with -1 karma
- Maintainer replies with +1 karma that bug is not expected to be fixed
The 'correct' thing to do is to contact the user and ask them to correct the feedback: if a user who previously gave a -1 gives a +1, this is counted as a total of +1, not 0.
