This seems like a great goal, but perhaps the means to get there is to<br>wait for voting on modules with the implementation of voting API in<br>4.7. I'm thinking of voting in categories like stability, usability,<br>performance, frequency of updates.

Not so much voting. More along the lines of certification: this module
is designed/written well, and meets certain other criteria, like having
responsive maintainer(s).<br>

<a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a> meaning that you<br>can't vote on them from somewhere else.</blockquote><div><br>
AFAIK, no high quality modules (well, with the notable exception of the
BSD-license spam.module) are hosted outside of <a href="http://Drupal.org">Drupal.org</a>.<br>
