[feature request] AUR voting stats/who voted for my package

I'm really happy to see people voting for packages I contributed to AUR and I do vote often myself. Wouldn't it be nice to see who gave a package his/her vote, to show how old a certain vote for a packages is or to show a hint in the AUR UI in the kind of "People who voted for this package also liked foo, bar and foobar"?

My PHP skills are far behind implementing such a thing, but I really like the idea of vote-stats.

What do you think about the privacy risks of such a feature?

Cheers Sigi

Re: [feature request] AUR voting stats/who voted for my package

I'm not sure about voter identification - I don't see the need for it myself, but there would certainly be a privacy issue. If it ever happens, it would have to be an opt-in for the user, either in their profile, or for each vote individually. I like the idea of vote age and voting patterns across packages - good thinking.
