Deprecated - Drupal.org infrastructure

The Drupal mail server is not configured to provide a valid return address (SMTP "MAIL FROM"). To wit, headers from the message I received from Drupal.org:

I've been following the developer's list when I can and fairly often there is a call to remove functionality from Drupal core in order to keep the default install nice and tight, and move any extra stuff to conrtibuted modules. In general, I agree with this approach.

The biggest downfall though is that there is no way to determine from http://drupal.org/project/Modules directly what is:

a) A totally awesome, useful module that no site should be without
b) An old crusty piece of garbage that hasn't been updated in eons
c) A module that doesn't even function at all

So the more functionality that gets stripped from the base install of Drupal, the less appealing it starts to look for newcomers because realistically they're not going to go through 80 kabillion modules in the downloads section trying them all on for size to see what works and what doesn't.

Here's a list of things that I think would add immense value to this page, and consequently to Drupal itself:

• Some kind of rating system (1-5 'druplicons' or what have you), where users can rate a module based on its usefulness to them. This rating would be visible right on the list of modules so people could see 'at a glance' what's received good feedback and what hasn't, as a means of discerning module quality.
• A tally of how many downloads a module has received, also viewable from the module list. Another means of determining quality, this time based on how many other people used this module to get the job done.

When I submit a search here at drupal.org, I often see a row of numbers across the bottom of the page, with a 'next page' and 'last page' button to the right. None of these links seem to work. Each of them seem to take me to one of the hits listed in the first page of my search results. Always the same node, regardles of which page number (or next page, or last page) I click.

Works the same in IE and Firefox.

I've been trying to use drupal for several months now, so I don't know if that makes me a newbie or just a numptie, but, with all due respect, the core search module drives me crazy every time I try to find some info in drupal.org.

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease could we have nedjo's SQL search / trip_search module (http://drupal.org/project/trip_search) installed/activated/enabled on this website? It won't take 5 minutes (assuming version compatibility...).

When I search for "image view access user" I end up on the CVS sign up page (without quotes).

Search for "survey responses delete", then try to click the numbers/next/last links at the bottom of the page. You might have to click a result link and then hit back. On my machine, after I viewed a result and then hit the back button, all of those linkes went to that node with ?page=... appended to the node URL. Expected behavior would obviously be search results list's URL with that page argument appended.
