As Shirky says, "handles you can invest in".
One way to invest in handles would be to add more social features like points you can give to awesome comments (you can only give 1 point a day or something), etc. Then again, all these social mechanics are complex and easily gamed.
Another way would be simply to promote handles more: make an easily searched HN users list etc.
