Comment (by dd32):

 I can't find where I mentioned it, but it might be worth splitting ratings
 into `All time` and `Recent` (Recent being 3/6 month or something).

 The biggest problem with reviews-over-time is that the majority of the
 plugins have very few ratings, relatively, making it difficult to have a
 singular rating let alone multiple of them.

 The plugins where this would mostly be useful however are those with many
 reviews, where historically it was well rated, but the recent reviews are
 lower.

 Another suggestion is that more recent reviews can have extra weight
 applied to them, so instead of a review from 4 years ago counting the same
 as one yesterday, yesterdays review has a much higher impact on the
 overall score.  That would allow for having a singular rating, but still
 allowing recent reviews to affect the overall score, while not negatively
 affecting those with few reviews.
 I have previously looked into that, and it changed some plugin ratings
 significantly, but the majority were mostly unaffected (or only moved
 0.1~0.5 stars).
