ISTM the primary use cases advanced here have been for "naive" users. Likely they won't be in a position to decide whether they trust Guido van Rossum or Egg Rando more. So in practice they'll often want to go with some kind of publicly weighted average of scores. To avoid the problem of ballot-box stuffing, you could go the way that pro sports often do for their All-Star teams: have one vote by anybody who cares to register an ID, and another by verified committers, including committers from "trusted" projects as well.
