How to rank users according to their “karma points” with the “Views” module?

Issue Summary

Hey everyone,
For some time now I’ve been looking for a module (ref. Drupal 6.x) which allows me to link a users vote regarding a specific node to the actual author of the content, so by evaluating the node the author should automatically be rated as well. For rating content I’m going with “Fivestar” which depends on the “Voting API”.
It appears that the module “User Vote” already came with the function that would’ve fulfilled my request, but as it was designed for Drupal 4.7.x and I was unable to find a similar module for Drupal 6.x I now need your help.
I’ve tried to use User Karma for this but I wasn’t able to figure out how I could rank users according to their “karma points” with the “Views” module, which is absolutely necessary for me. Does anybody know how to link User Karma and “Views” properly or does anyone know another module for Drupal 6.x coming with the ability to rate content and its creator at the same time in the way I have mentioned above?
Help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
