Thanks for the link STeVe. Yes, this is the sort of thing I was
looking for. Looks like there's no way to actually leave comments on a
package though; just a (+) or (-) rating. No way to say something
like, "I like x, y, and z about this package, but n, m, and especially
o need to get fixed" though.

One strength of cpanratings is you can leave those comments. A well-
written review comment, like "I used this package, and here's how it
worked out ... If you need <certain feature x>, you might try <package
y> instead of this one." is much more valuable than a thumbs-up or
thumbs-down.
