Ooops. Slight misunderstanding on my part. Lack of sleep I guess...

You are right. The top rated list looks a little weird, since extensions
with fewer and lower ratings in some cases show up above ones with more and
higher ratings.

This I believe is due to the fact that the order is not determined on-demand
but is calculated periodically. So, after the list is ordered we'll have
more votes that are going to affect the order the next time it is
calculated. I chalk this up to a side-effect of the gallery just having
opened for the public and this should stabilize over time.

I hope that answer is a little more satisfying than my last one. :)
