I was curious to how generic the rating system is. For example would
it be possible to use such a thing on something like BetaFeatures or
was it specifically designed for extension rating?
I'm not sure how related is this, but Article Feedback allowed user rating
+ comment, and it was deployed in Wikimedia servers. Editors didn't find it
that useful for regular articles (too much extra work processing too little
value feedback on top of Talk pages)
This, imo, was caused by lack of moderation software (structurising it, for instance).

I would agree.

For instance, imagine a page created specifically for
a deployment of a
specific version of a specific beta feature e.g. Winter 0.x. There you
would expect ratings plus optional short feedback without requiring to the
user any background nor any commitment to engage in a discussion. The
deeper discussion would flow (pun intended) across releases at the beta
feature talk page e.g.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Winter
Beta features already has this - place where people can rant off what they think. But
there also is a question as to who would take it from the "dumping ground" form
to a list of bugs and priorities. I hope we can code some software that integrates well
with a bug tracker and eases some routine work.
Merging and splitting bugs?
Localisation for bugs, anyone? :-)
