Sure, but then we go back to the data problem. What data do u use? If follows and mutes, you are already narrowing down the context to something loosely related to popularity.

I don't see grapevine solving this anytime soon, as I don't see anyone producing high-quality low-ambiguity data about that. Maybe a school can start posting skills-attestations for its students. Maybe. Now no one is doing it, the UX is terrible, and if only a few do it then the rating is completely skewed because there is not enough data.
