Has it already been asked anywhere *whether* to make these ratings available on mediawiki.org?
Yes. This is a GSoC project that was accepted. Getting the ratings to mw.o is the final step of that.

As XKCD makes clear, though, ratings like this have problems. We didn't ask Aditya to solve all those problems.
Instead, we want to start bootstrapping a way for users of MW extensions to provide feedback. If someone solves the problems with ratings, I'd love to see that implemented on mw.o.
For now, though, this is a step towards improving the ecosystem for MW users.
Mark.
