I suggest to implement a rating system that is used by many forums (Ex: MSDN).

Whenever somebody asks something on the newsgroup it should be possible to mark each worthy answer as "the answer".
Also, it should be possible to rate any other useful comments by authors other than the OP as "useful".
The rating of an author is therefore determined on the basis on the number of "the answer" received and by a score that is the cumulative of all "useful" received (keeping them separate).

Limitations:
1) Nobody can propose his own comments as "the answer" or as "useful".
2) Only the OP can mark somebody's answer as "the answer"
3) No limitations on the number of "useful" received by the same author in the same post as long as the "useful" are given by different accounts.

Once a rating is determined by the activity of an author on the Newsgroup I feel much more confident on the proxy of the quality of its submissions.
Whenever a search is made on the FEX, the results should be ranked on the basis of a weighted overall rating (based on those two components).
Sorting by date should however sort as first those authors that at the same date have higher ranking.

IMP: Those who don't participate on the NEWSGROUP...still thinking on in.

Also some moderators are needed but these and other details come second to first determing a robust, transparent and simple rating system.

If TMW need some help from the community I make mayself available.

Jos, we did implement a way to filter out an author. Try this:
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/?term=-authorid%3A30860

We don't yet have a way of making this persist, but you can bookmark that page or use that feed instead of the default.

Thanks Matthew, for pointing this out!

To address part of this problem, is there a way that you can prevent authors from (intentionally or accidentally) applying a rating to their own submissions? For example, removing the 5 stars altogether when you're leaving a comment regarding your own file?
