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

As this theory has been repeated often here, I decided to go through all
comments and classify them, as:
- good: (overall) positive evaluation (possibly including minor
  criticism/wishes)
- bad: negative evaluation, complaint, bug report
- neutral: statement of fact (typically in response to some help
  request)

Here is what I got:
- good:   20
- bad:    11
- neutral: 9

So far, the theory that only complainers will comment cannot be
substantiated by facts. Of course, it could be that all the negative
comments come from easy_install users, and all the positive comments
from people who browse through PyPI... Notice however that such
easy_install users often would have to create a PyPI account first.
