Comment (by gibrown):

 An additional idea here is whether we can give recent reviews more weight
 than older reviews. So the current state of a plugin is not completely
 outweighed by past reviews. I think this would mean having multiple review
 scores over different time periods and combining them in some way. I am
 not 100% positive how this would influence scores, but it probably would
 encourage behavior we want (maintaining a good plugin experience).

 Something to experiment with that I think could be done.
