I understand where you are coming from with this (my university did the 
same :) ), but in my view this has a huge potential for not really 
reflecting reality. Rationale being: the people who e.g. got their code 
rejected will naturally tend to provide negative feedback, even if 
rejecting the code was objectively the right thing to do.

And vice versa.
