Yes. If PyPI is going to have release-specific ratings, I suggest that
each PyPI page (distname-version) show two rating bars:
a) release rating (logged-in user editable)
b) overall rating (averaged from all release ratings)
I would make the second an average over all past releases
I would also suggest making it a so-called exponentially weighted
average. Assume that past ratings are frozen and the individual votes
tossed, the update when a new release arrives would be something like
past = .8 * past + .2 * current # adjust weights to taste
current = <undefined>
This way, a blunder release, once corrected, would have limited effect
on the overall average and its effect would disappear with time.
