User ratings and comments are the future for "app store" style sites such as PyPI, and spam unfortunately comes with the terrain. There are plenty of things we can learn about fighting spam and other forms of vandalism from other areas of the social web, including our very own wiki, and other wikis (WikiPedia survives despite spam). I agree that feedback, commentary/etc is a Good Thing; but doing it right is not an easy thing, and typically implementing it poorly leads to spam, people filing bugs in comments, astroturfing, etc. Just on first glance, I could see immediate improvements around: * Moderation [...] * Flagging as spam
