Summary
There could be an additional tab in Synaptic / Gnome App Install where users could see reviews about the program by other users. This could include a score/rating.
The reviews should probably be per source package, like changelogs.
Perhaps a launchpad interface to edit them? This would probably be text-files (or stripped html?) on launchpad and downloaded on demand by Synaptic or GAI.
The reviews would probably have to be moderated.
Since capabilites and bugs change, reviews for a package from a previous release of Ubuntu should not be shown by default. New versions in the same Ubuntu release shouldn't throw away reviews though. How to integrate this with -backports is not clear atm.
