It'd probably incorporate some combination of ...

Adding a social network could work very nicely, both to partly
address several of the things you listed as well as to add other
equally useful features.
(No, I’m not joking. :-) )
That's more or less what I'm getting at with trust metrics. My idea is to
have a "web of trust" where you indicate trust in both distros & authors.
Trust would then "echo" down the network so that you trust something that
a trusted author trusts, but less than if you trust it directly.
The idea is to be able to find highly trusted distros and authors, which
would help people find the best solution in a crowded space.
Note that this differs from ratings, which I don't find very useful at
all.
