Hi guys.
I think you may be interested in taking a look at #1523:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1523
This is a proposal of ebuild submission/processing system, that involves
streamlined submission, multiple stability levels, votes, even some ideas on
developer ratings :).
Its implementation is moving not particularly fast I should admit. Quite
expectedly, as it involves modifications to numerous subsistems and
resolution of other problems along the way (such as enhanced
masking/stability levels).
Any thoughts/comments are wellcome!.
George

I'm not sure that many people would like this,
because nothing stops someone to multiple rate a package.
(you can make it difficult, but not so difficult).
It could be good, and perhaps an option for
non production systems used to test gentoo. But I think
that a clean cut somewhere must be made. For
example all packages non labeled definitive are placed
in a category. When you emerge rsync
the files are updated and the rating is contained in the .emerge
"RATING = 5". You can browse packages, install them by hand,
but they should not be used as depend for a stable ebuild.
This way an administrator has more control over what gets installed
and it can be a bit more relaxed when installing official packages.
