When it comes to comments and recommendations for selecting software packages, developers are the end users :)

Yes, most certainly.  But developers as consumers are very different from application users as consumers, which is what I was getting at. The convenience interfaces for commenting on a library are far less valuable for developers, IMO, since developers are expected to better understand how their context impacts their perception.  Useful feedback from a developer just doesn't fit will into the giant-pile-of-comments UIs conventional for non-developers. +1 IMO :  - decision matrix are useful to decide which lib to use (i.e. which  one supports the features I need ;o). BTW that's something cool about  wikipedia ;o)

I mean feature matrix

 - project metrics and build results are useful to have a idea  of project dev status (e.g. coverage, test results, ...).  - the rest goes to issue tracker + project (sites | wikis). that's what  they are for ;o)
