[Python-Dev] PyPI comments and ratings, *really*?

[Arc Riley]

Nobody is claiming right to censor what people say about their software.

This is the Internet.  There are blogs.  Google and other search engines
find blogs quickly, and people who agree with the viewpoints expressed link
to them thus making the blog postings more visible.  There are countless
other social networks and outlets for people to flame and slander (or praise
and promote, in a much less common case) software.

It would be more useful to provide a PyPI mechanism to publish a link to
file bugs on the project's own website and leave project ratings the work of
other sites such as Ohloh.
