Hey – apologies for the late response (I've just returned from my annual leave).
The AFT team is currently reviewing a number of options to address the moderation workload issue, which is definitely an important one. So to answer your question: you can safely consider the feature as "experimental", further decisions will be deferred until we've tested/discussed different approaches to moderation.
As far as data is concerned, we're going to publish additional analyses/datasets on feedback volume and moderation activity for the current (10%) sample on top of those already available via the dashboards, they'll be announced on the lists and on meta:R:AFT.

Do you have a link to on-wiki consensus for this idea? I was under the impression that the ArticleFeedback tool was developed as an experiment. It needs a discussion and on-wiki consensus before being widely deployed, right? Has that happened?
I asked these questions in September. As far as I can tell, there was no response to them.
A number of long-time users have concerns about this tool, particularly as it is quite often used to libel subjects of articles.
Before adding to volunteers' workloads (to moderate and respond to these comments), I would think it unquestionably requires the consent of the volunteers, right?
Dario?
