Personally I think you're overcomplicating things.
I share this thought.
To me it seems the votes don't matter anyway. There are guidelines for the number of needed votes afaik but from my limited experience packages only get into community when a TU is interested in them, in which case the votecount doesn't matter at all.
I wish this would be different. I think the general idea that people express their support through a vote is good. I often install a package just to test it and to realize that I don't need it. Don't see why this should increase the popularity, one could argue it should decrease... What about votes that are valid two months + a monthly voting cronjob (the time spans are just exemplary)? Further I'd like to see a list of all packages I voted for, so far I was not able to get this - might be my lack of knowledge. -- Florian Friesdorf <flo@chaoflow.net> GPG FPR: EA5C F2B4 FBBB BA65 3DCD E8ED 82A1 6522 4A1F 4367 Jabber/XMPP: flo@chaoflow.net OTR FPR: 9E191746 213321FE C896B37D 24B118C0 31785700 IRC: chaoflow on freenode,ircnet,blafasel,OFTC
