Hi Scott,

Here's the queue of apps submitted to the ARB:
https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/arb/

It currently does not reflect this change, and I agree that it'd be
awesome. As Bhavani was saying, votes are being tracked on the mailing
list, but my personal preference would be that reviews are done from a
central place (MyApps), where developers (who are not subscribed to the
mailing list) can see the status of their submission.

In terms of implementing a voting feature on MyApps, the first step
should be to submit a bug to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/developer-portal/+filebug - but to set
expectations, I believe at least this cycle is a maintenance mode one
for MyApps.

Cheers,
David.
