Isarra, I like the idea of endorsements. Of course the best endorsement to an extension is to have it installed and actively used in a wiki, and the more popular the wiki is, the bigger that endorsement can be considered. Wikiapiary has the building blocks for this in place, since they also track wikis (with various stats) that users can claim.
And then you could also have the endorsement of pure users just giving a thumbs up. I wonder whether "counter-endorsements" aka thumbs down could help here as well. And thjis would ring us closer to ratings, but I get your point.

Lots of possibilities!
Well, yes. I wonder whether Mark & Markus or someone else would like to pick a first one and push it until deploying it.
(BTW, some basic structured data about each extension would be great to
expose for users for this purpose; maybe MediaWiki.org could be a potential future Wikibase target?)
I asked/suggested this ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-l/2014-March/003588.html ) but the idea didn't fly.
