Yes please! I've been silently waiting for this and have (surprisingly 
for me!) managed to resist joining in the rant.

I'm of the crowd who just wants to make comments (I don't care about 
ratings one way or another, and I can't, sadly, see anyone giving me 
access as to who-voted-less-than-5 so I can follow up with them and see 
what needs to be improved) optional. I'm quite okay with having a banner 
saying "This package has opted not to receive comments". I believe the 
software I release on PyPI is strong enough on its own merits that 
people will use it ;-)
