The Technorati Favorites feature is very much in place and fans/readers can still add your blog to their Technorati favorites.However, with the latest changes, Technorati won't tell you anything about the people who have favorited your blog on Technorati.
They are also hiding the Favorites count from your Blog profile page that suggested how many Technorati members called your blog as their favorite. You have to be in the Technorati Top 100 Most favorited blogs list to know that number.
The only way to check if someone has added you on Technorati is to visit the member's Technocriat profile page and scroll through his/her list of favorite blogs.
This was long needed though it's sad that now you won't have a clue about your fans who read you through Technorati.

My guess is that they are still working on the changes. I don't think they would leave "fans" buttons next to my blogs, with value "0 Fans", if they were not planning to do something. Why would you leave a chicklet telling me I have no fans, if I know I have, since I'm my own fan?
So I think those favorite stats will come back, or, if you're right, those buttons need to be removed.

I really don't think Maki at Dosh Dosh is a spammer, nor are most of the people who participated.
It wasn't against Technorati's terms of service and didn't do anyone any harm at all. Personally I don't see what the fuss is about.

Technorati system had a loophole and people exploited that to reach the top.
When similar things happened on Digg, they quickly changed their algorithms .

Am I missing something? I'm not sure if I'm reading you right but you seem to be saying that it's hard to see who has favorited you.
I found it hard to see my favorites until I discovered that if I click on the big orange heading "Reactions to The Journey - Rodney Olsen's blog about life, faith and family" it takes me to a page titled "Everything in the known universe about The Journey - Rodney Olsen's blog about life, faith and family".
On that page I can see all who have favorited my blog and I can follow the links to their profiles.
