Maybe it would be a good idea to create a small module that extends help text and error messages with a rating widget?

The response should get send to Drupal.org and then we can prioritize problematic messages.
This sounds awfully similar to the infamous WinXP message: "This program is not responding. Please tell Microsoft about this problem." Now, I'm not saying that this is a bad idea, but I am saying that it immediately makes me think: "why is Drupal trying to be like Microsoft?", and That Is Bad (tm).
I think that makes for a pretty bad comparison. IMO.
Agreed - a better comparison is the trackback software in Mozilla - it's on by default but you can disable it. The first time you hit a problem it asks "do you want to submit a detailed report? Do you just want to send this and never ask you the detailed report question again? Do you want to disable trackback?" I'm paraphrasing, but that's close. It's a great feature for the Mozilla community to be able to give detailed problem reports that can be aggregated, summarized, and the biggest problems can be investigated.
