Seems like a reasonable idea, given that there's already a Python reddit which seems popular. There was also www.cheeserater.com (which appears down at the moment) which was a Django demo site (source available at http://github.com/jacobian/cheeserater) for rating PyPI packages.

Yes, but it's good to have all the feedback in one place, if possible.
