Is there a way with Trac to rate projects based on activity (recent commits, documentation change or forum posts), downloads, subscribers or user rating -- something?

The top-ranked projects in each category could be listed first, with their associated rating - on the Projects page and the Forums. An abridged list of top projects could also be displayed the main page.

It would help new users to approach this huge list, and the list of relevant projects would sort by itself.

Listing projects by merit would also give maintainers of active projects an incentive to promote and maintain the visibility of their tool.
