Comment (by jb510):

 Is there any reference doc / API for interacting with .org?  This is
 really way beyond my skills but I'd still be willing to try to get
 something started...

 FWIW,
 A rating URL looks like this:
 http:// wordpress.org/extend/plugins/{plugin-
 slug}/?rate={1-5}&topic_id={#####}&_wpnonce={##########}

 Compatibility URL:
 http:// wordpress.org/extend/plugins/{plugin-
 slug}/?compatibility[version]={wp_version}1&compatibility[topic_version]={plugin_version}&compatibility[compatible]={0
 doesn't or 1 works}

 Things to think about:
   * In order to rate a plugin, one needs to be logged in to .org.  Do we
 save those login credentials as part of their user profile or require them
 to login at the time of rating/reporting? Does that authorization get
 saved somewhere permanently or in a transient? (this is the stuff I have
 no idea on how to handle)

   * When an update is available we should probably display the report
 compatibility of the update.

   * I've never liked having the "Average Star" rating appear next to and
 separately from "your rating" on .org so I've proposed combining them or
 not showing average rating.  I don't know that we need to show average
 rating to someone that has already installed the plugin.
   * If ratings and capability is show in it's own column we probably need
 a screen options settings to show/hide the ratings column like the
 description can be, sites built for professional clients will probably
 often want to hide this.

 I've attached a first draft mockup.
