Thank you very much for your feedback either through r-help list or direct 
contact. It seemed that "Rinfo" could be a good alternative the package name.

Based on the feedback I got, I have made the following changes:

(1) A user can now use the functions download, rate, comment, like without time 
lag.
(2) The maintainers of R packages can elect not to receive feedback through 
email.
(3) A bug was fixed.
(4) Several errors in the help doc were corrected. 
(http://rstats.psychstat.org/rstats.pdf)

If you have installed the package, there is no need to reinstall it unless you 
want to update the help doc. 

Note that you can provide feedback directly within R on the package using 

comment('blabla...', package='rstats')

To ask a question, use

ask('blabla..', package='rstats', email='xxx@xxx', name='xxx')

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

collect_rstats or RCollectStats or a variation thereof would do just fine.

My 2 cents,
