Space for commentaries on hackage
It would be nice to have a place for anonimous comments below each page of a hackage package, maybe with a cabal option to enable/disable that for a particular package. Authors of packages with few users may want that as a way to get first impressions on their work they would otherwise not get. (At least, I am, so I thought maybe others probably would.)

In these days of web spam, anonymous is not such a good idea. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH

Sure! Replace "anonymous" for "easy to write". Although, thinking better, this should be something to ask at repository hosters, not at hackage.
If we're getting rid of the anonymous requirement - every package I upload to hackage includes my email address in the "maintainer" field, and I love getting emails from people who use anything I maintain (even if they're asking me to do work! I may not do it, but it's nice to know that people care). Antoine

My motivation for this post is that I'm also interested on the comments from those who don't :) Seriously, it may be usefull to get comments like "why would I use this, if package X already do that better?" But, for politeness if for no other reason, people won't write you to say that. Best, Maurício

I used to use Haskell-Wiki for project homepages, so people can leave comments in the according talk pages.
