As I say, the use-case is something around providing feedback from the
application launcher on the device; maybe an on-device popup that allows a
star rating, comment etc that is linked back to the appropriate OBS package

It seems like it combines two separate things:
- Application
- How/where it gets built
Not quite.
It requires that the installation of an application provides an optional
OCS-compliant url for feedback.
I'd rather see an entity separate from OBS as the starting point of a
rating/comment system.
Why? I'm talking about making the OBS support a standard API, not the other way
around. This idea would allow the OBS to be replaced as "keeper of ratings" but
in the meantime may also allow us some efficiency in reducing the number of
systems we have to develop and support.
The OBS already provides:
* PPA -like repos
* Extras-devel -like projects
* Extras -like projects
* per-package file storage (think screenshots)
* ratings system
* integration with MeeGo user account system
It doesn't provide a comment system.
Applications built with any system would reside
there (including proprietary applications built in someones basement).
This doesn't preclude that at all; provided the basement builder provides an OCS
API somewhere.
MeeGo community does provide a community build system.. the OBS ... which, as
you say, needs to support rating/feedback somehow. The OBS has a rating
system... no-brainer (well, at least as a potential solution).
