Why not create a separate site with ratings and comments, along the
lines of Jacob's cheeserater.com (now defunct) or Plone's software center?

So it would all be fine, if I only rendered the comments on
ratepypi.org, instead of pypi.python.org?

Sure, there is nothing wrong with having a 3rd party site where users can leave comments and rate packages.

Would it still be ok if a link from pypi.python.org would link to
ratepypi.org?

IMO, it would be ok if the link is optional, if I -- as the package author or maintainer -- can decide if a link to an external site shows up on the PyPI page of my packages, similar to the homepage and the download URL.

Without such control over my packages I would seriously reconsider putting them on PyPI and rather put the files on S3, Bitbucket or Github. Maby I would even ask around to create a separate index and use one of the alternative implementations.
