Great feature, thanks. A parallel feature for "rate my startup" posts would be useful; those self-posts also tend to get lost.
If people did that now it'd show up in the Ask section, so maybe we should return to that practice.
Is it possible to have it as a link at the top of the page too? Because people are sure to forget - or new users won't find out about it for ages :)
I'm just testing this. (I literally just pasted it into the repl.) If it's super popular I'd consider adding it to the top bar. But it will be on http://news.ycombinator.com/lists at least.

It would seem to be vastly more useful then the "leaders" link that's currently at the top of the page. How many people (other than people actually on it and trying to climb the ranks) actually use that page ?
I know self-posts are algorithmically docked already, but I think I would prefer that HN was set up like StackOverflow where all meta-posts were cordoned off from the real stories.

Twitter did something like this when they added the new "retweet" feature. They pushed the "reply" link aside and put the "retweet" in its place. I had to write a Greasemonkey script to resolve this due to years of muscle memory built up on how it was.
How are these ASK posts are ordered? by the Points, Comments or Time Based?
I have been using http://ask.searchyc.com/ for checking ASK related posts. They also have the feature of highlighting the post in BOLD font if the post is commented heavily.
Going to bookmark this new ASK url.
A worthy feature for sure, but moving something that's been commonly used for years to squeeze something else in is a negative UI experience. The "threads" link is no longer where it used to be. I'd guess the earliest it should go would be before "jobs" as I doubt the average HN user clicks "jobs" or "submit" more than once a day (if that often), whereas "threads" is the way to a common activity.

Better now?
The old positioning threw me off.
