One approach would that everyone (or perhaps everyone above a moderate karma level) has the authority to promote-- after all, anyone can post anything to Discussion.

The advantage of changing things is that a promoted open thread comment would bring its comments with it. If you want a restriction, it might be that the original comment and/or the original comment + it's comments have some specified karma total.
