We have something similar at the moment, done by editors, not readers
(a big difference):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment

That has about 6 or 7 levels, depending whether you include both GA and A-class.

Stats are here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Index

Estimates as to the reliability of the assessments vary, but the stats
at the time of writing are:

1489 projects (WikiProjects)
1,960,650 articles tagged
1,607,658 articles assessed

Total number of articles: 2,698,457

See also the talk page of that index for some more stats.
