EDIT: Well, it helped the community at the point of there were constantly people on #maemo whom never see IRC if not adding extras-devel to their repository as some devel/advanced user proposed on tmo without warning.
That some people don't handle powerful tools such as overclocking apps with caution isn't a reason not to recognize their developers' work. Ideally, the awards should recognize those whose work has made an impact, without regard to Nokia's policies and the Ovi Store.

If anything, users flooding IRC with overclocking problems, as obnoxious as it may be, is probably proof that there is an impact. (Mind you, I'm not so sure writing overclocking software merits an award, but it shouldn't knock someone out of the running either)
