I could think of adding an <editor_pick> or similar tag to the AppStream
metadata. Probably something named differently, like
<favored>40</favored> (the number being some "weight" in case we want
that, or have it just boolean instead? also, do we want to make this
desktop-specific?)

Problem with it being in the AppStream metadata is that we can't ship banners 
and the like with the AS metadata, that's not it's purpose. So probably we want 
a different solution here, like having the stuff packaged in a .deb package.
If other application centers would want this feature too, I could even imagine 
adding a different file-format to the AppStream spec, describing those 
preferences, which gets downloaded and processed via the same way our current 
metadata is handled. That would take some time to discuss and implement though, 
not sure if that's helpful for your tight schedule.
