I like the easy way of bumping the version attached to review. That mitigates it to some extent.
Correct, we are not aiming for code reviews but for package quality/reputation. Hopefully the descriptions on the homepage are clear and this does not confuse too many people.
Regarding the problem of outdated reviews - I have a specific field where the reviewer can put the current version that they are reviewing (example: https://goo.gl/rWMHgB shows version 4.8.2). Reviewers can also easily update their existing reviews and bump this version as necessary. We also show the date that the review was last updated.
