is performed though bugzilla in correspondence on actual bugs.

* In all these years, I maintain ca. 70 packages in Fedora, I received 
ca. 5 karma votes.

* In all these years, I participate in Fedora, I casted ca. 5 karma 
votes. Ca. 3 of them were negative votes and have been ignored by the 
maintainer in charge.

=> IMO, this karma system doesn't work at all.
