A really simple way to track the "quality" of a package is to display
the number of downloads.

A posteriorae, this works great in other download sites.

We can easily hypothesize about why a download count gives a decent
indication of some measure of quality:
- more people downloading it means more people specifically wanted that package
- more people downloading it means more people trying it, giving
feedback, maybe giving patches
- and, of course, it's an objective measure, easy to do
