I have some modest Python skills, a forked and working copy of the LW codebase on my local machine, and the potential to block out some time to implement features.
The main things stopping me are existing time commitments for the next 1-2 weeks and a lack of consensus (from community and the Powers That Be) about how it ought to work. For instance, I'm not even sure which part(s) of gjm's post you're referring to with "do this". I'd love to help but I don't want to spend time implementing things that noone wants.
Well, we've got a pretty wide consensus that upvoting your own comments should not increase your karma. At least it looks like a wide consensus to me, based on admittedly biased and small sampling data. With any luck this is simple - with any unluck it's not.
One problem with fixing this is that a quick hack to remove the karma from a self-upvote might break if/when self-upvoting is removed entirely. Of course, this might be avoided merely by the relevant programmer bearing this possibility in mind.
