I've had a look at this and been able to run the assessments locally
on a number of packages that I've been able to download from pypi. It's
interesting.

I totally agree that some people might have issues with the terminology 
being used there.

What if the terminology could be cleaned up? And the tests extended?

What do you think would be more meaningful in terms of output? In regards
to something that could be useful for potential publishing on pypi.
