Sure, there is nothing wrong with having a 3rd party site where users
can leave comments and rate packages.

IMO, it would be ok if the link is optional, if I -- as the package
author or maintainer -- can decide if a link to an external site shows
up on the PyPI page of my packages, similar to the homepage and the
download URL.
Without such control over my packages I would seriously reconsider
putting them on PyPI and rather put the files on S3, Bitbucket or
Github. Maby I would even ask around to create a separate index and
use one of the alternative implementations.
