A few ideas here:

1) Downgrade the display of not-yet-tagged eggs, that are "in
development" - not entirely hide them, just note that they're in an
alpha state and you need to build from source manually. Otherwise people
try and install them and FAIL.

2) Show when the egg was last tagged, so people have an idea of age
(which might imply bit rot)

3) From each egg, link to some kind of "bugs about this egg" page with a
link to submit a new bug. Either do this in the existing trac by having
a dynamic report that picks up tickets tagged "egg-<foo>" and a dynamic
submit page with "egg-<foo>" already poked into the field (and category
set to "eggs" or whatnot), or have a dedicated web app (hello, awful!)
or something. Perhaps let egg authors override the show tickets / submit
ticket URLs in the metadata file, for us Fossil fans.

4) Just plain user rankings with a little vote button

5) Track stats from henrietta: which eggs are downloaded most often?
