Taking into consideration the rating of people with X amount of ratings doesn't really improve much, you can still "cheat" the system, unless you impose restrictions such as "you can only rate X amount of addons per Y amount of time". Ultimately, there simply isn't a perfect system that won't shut out a significant portion of users. Why not keep it simple tbh. Split ratings into categories (as has been suggested) and allow different kinds of peeps access to those particular categories. Authors and generally tech-savy people will be able to rate the "technical" aspects of the addon (code, performance, etc with a requirement to provide reasons for negative reviews, thus actually helping the original author) and pretty much everyone will have access to the more "artistic" categories (functionality, user friendliness, features etc).
