Thanks for your bugreport.
We currently use the by_inst rating in gnome-app-install. But we plan to
switch to the "by_vote" rating once we have enough submissions to get
meaningful results from those. Unfortunately there has been some bugs in
the older versions of popcon that broke the submission of some versions.
But this is getting fixed now.
Note that the "by_vote" number is much more fair because it only counts
the programs you actually run in the last 30 days. This means that even
if e.g. tomboy is installed by default but not used by the user it will
not be counted.
I hope that adresses your concerns.
Thanks,
Michael
