I just want to make sure that no of votes is visible to everyone and 
hover titles are not viewable all at once. I'll first cut the date to 
yy/mm/dd only and see how the table looks in min size layout...

I'll probably not get the star ratings into the header line with 
breaking the layout once again. Maybe later...

Nobody forces you to fill this rating dimension, so it is perfectly okay 
not to rate code quality without any drawbacks. Maybe I should give a 
hint in the text concerning this issue. Since we don't know any 
reviewers it's mainly a question of trust (you could just as well not 
have read the manual and still rate the docs...) in both the raters and 
the large number of them straighting things out.

Yes, will do.

Once for each extension version.
