Wouldn't it be cool if this could be somehow automated? Some ideas:
 * automatic thread scoring
     --> activity (length) => 	score += x
         matz's post =>  	score += 3*x     :-)
	 whatever
 * allow the active readers of the mailing list to vote somewhere

A script could generate a candidate sorting of the threads and the human
supervisor would correct it if there's something blatantly wrong...

Just dreaming :)
