[FEATURE] Adding Thumb Up/Thumb Down (Rating) Feature to NPM website for various packages

[jbactual]

Problem/Issue

• Downloading multiple npm packages just to find out each one is inadequate for what you need.

What/Why

• What: Add some type of rating system for all the various packages on npm. Maybe allow users to comment on packages as well.

• Why: Allows users to weed out the good and bad packages. Allows NPM governing body to eliminate bad or non-used packages.

Where

• npm website / database

A few thoughts here:

1. I am not sure this is the right place for this type of request. This repo is for CLI, not the website
2. I am a 👎 on social features in the registry. It is hard enough for package maintainers and adding more things they need to worry about in this way is not a good thing. Also, I don't think this kind of signal is what will help you find "adequate" packages.
3. There is no governing body like this. There are processes for malicious packages and non-used packages changing hands, but I don't personally want it based on user ratings.

I feel the current stats (version history, weekly downloads etc) and readme of a package are generally sufficient to provide usability details

Off-topic: Where is the right place to let NPM know about website features? The contact form mentions an e-mail address, but I feel that's possibly not the most efficient way.
eg. my suggestion @ npm/cli#836 (comment)_
