reviews

 Currently the reviews of plugins (and themes for that matter) go back to a
 static point where there is also a comment that was made with the review.
 This is helpful but I believe it would be more beneficial to have the
 review be on a rolling time frame, perhaps matching the automatic closing
 of support topics without activity (one year?)

 Also to note, plugins that have not been updated in two years or longer
 will not appear in general search results. Given this idea, an old plugin
 with very strong reviews could be misleading to users with its quality and
 stability if used with current WordPress versions.

 Given how rapidly plugins, themes, and the general WordPress environment
 in which they operate changes, putting the focus on relatively current
 reviews would ensure that they more accurately reflect current state and
 performance of themes and plugins.
