A reasonable implementation of this as an extension would be more difficult
than you might think. 

(1) On enwiki, many articles have more than one quality rating and more than
one importance rating.  This is because each rating is Wikiproject-specific.
Different projects may have different requirements for quality ratings, and
importance is always assessed on a per-project basis. New Wikiprojects are
formed routinely, so it is not feasible to hard-code a list into the database. 

(2) A key requirement for ratings is the ability to keep a log of assessment
changes. This is done by a bot on enwiki. Replacing the current bot-based
system with an extension would require implementing logging as well (there is
currently no built-in category membership logging, for example) 

(3) People are already used to using category-based tools, which would need
conversion to a new system.
