This seems ripe for abuse. I get the appeal of the idea, but I don't know how we could limit the abuse of it.

Could only give mods/admins the bump button.

I want the bumping for continuing certain conversatons, so x-posting wouldn't work.

Would it not? By x-posting I mean referencing the original comment thread.

Bumping is a bit messy too. And also, who gets to bump, when, for how long, ...?

I'd use it for active meta discussions that get quickly buried by the daily news cycle - like the one from 2 days ago that hasn't been resolved yet.

Emma just changed the sorting algorithm to give posts with comments priority, and that might be enough. The linux convo has stayed at the top of the page for a while.
