Im sorry if this has been mentioned before, I didn't have time to read all the posts (lots of walls of text) but in regards to ratings, if you do implement them there should be some kind of timeout, or individual version ratings.
Addons improve over time, a new fledgeling addon may be poorly written, buggy, or just not as usefull as people would like, this may cause a number of low ratings.
As time goes on authors improve thier addons and shape them into something more honed to a specific purpose, fufilling the niche that everyone wants. Old poor ratings can effect an overall score and i don't think it's representative to cound old ratings from long ago.
If you do implement something, I'd like to see a solution to combat this problem.
Perhaps adopt an idea like comments on wowhead.com where each comment is tagged with the version of wow at the time of posting. Perhaps a similar idea, like the version of the mod can be tagged to each review/rating and publically viewable?
