It's editorial work on the project like any other. How good you are with
ratings is as much part of your reputation as how good you are with edits.
I don't see any reason *not* to make it as public as any other editorial
work.
Indeed, since a key factor regarding how I would treat a rating or
review is the reputation of the reviewer I think it's _necessary_ to
keep track of these sorts of things. This isn't like scientific peer
review where one at least has a reasonable guarantee that the reviewers
know the subject matter; any J. Random Yahoo could be doing the rating
in this case (I'm assuming it'll be pretty open or it won't scale well).
People could also wind up rating their own work, which should be noted.
On the other hand, we don't make watchlists public so giving a list of
all reviewed articles might not be a good idea. Maybe just make reviews
show up in user contributions along with other edits, so recent work is
theoretically available for checking but it slides off over the horizon
of history after a while.
