If it's only for feedback for the developer then the data is of very 
limited use. I doubt if it's worth the effort.

Many people have asked to filter extensions (both in EM as in TER) that 
work for their current TYPO3 version. Using this feedback for that 
purpose is quite hard.
If you just released a new version of your extension then there is no 
feedback. If you sort the result based also on feedback the extension 
will suddenly drop in that list. You could use the votes of a previous 
version, if it's only a bugfix release and the new version doesn't have 
enough votes for a valid judgement and the previous version does have 
enough votes.
As you see things can get pretty complicated.

It's quite hard to interpret the numbers, also for an integrator.

So, if it's only about showing the raw data for the extension author and 
others who think they can interpret it:
-1 (just an opinion, not blocking anything)
