A star is a simple +1 vote, used widely on Github, G+, and NPMjs.org . It is a way to cast your approval. A simple + 1 system will allow then for popularity metrics to get calculated. In addition to tracking downloads (an easy thing to track), one can also report on which modules are most starred. And this is important for relevance in searches, for the internal code.dlang.org search engine to be able to return the most popular matches first.

The goal is really to get a measure of popularity and quality.
