Which means that it won't get done.

All volunteer organisations work in roughly the same way - if you want to
get a job done, you have to *start* it yourself. Others may well join in
and help once they see that it's a good idea, but things don't get started
because someone would like it.

[This is an oversimplification. You may be able to persuade someone else
that they also care about it enough to do it. But this is as if that person
starts on his/her own as above. Likewise someone may be able to get others
to start a new project for them, but generally they have earned this by
visibly contributing their own blood sweat and tears to something else
already.]

No-one is stopping you setting up a ratings system.
