 It's not BAD to review your own product, but people should be honest about
 this stuff.

 We should alert developers that they should leave productive and disclosed
 reviews on their work.

 For example, on https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/akismet/reviews/ if
 you were someone with commit access (or listed as an author) you should
 get a message like this:

 "A review should be the review of an experience a user has with your
 plugin, not for self-promotion. Since you work on this [plugin|theme],
 please consider <em>not</em> leaving a review on your own work. You were
 probably going to give it five stars anyway."
