Or just more general reviews/warnings/info. "Doesn't work with 
IronPython", "Works fine on 3.5 even though it doesn't say so", etc.

Restrict it to 140 chars, signed in users, only allow linking to other 
PyPI packages, let the maintainer delete comments (or mark them as 
disputed) and I think you'd avoid abuse (or rants/detailed bug 
reports/etc.). Maybe automatically clear all comments on each new 
release as well.

Doesn't have to be complicated and fancy - just enough that users can 
help each other when maintainers disappear.

Cheers,
Steve
