Just thought of the same idea today! And I try to do it in my reviews. :-)
Great idea. and very important one.

Some of the software from the upcoming Elementary project distribution may be good examples: the Midori web browser, the upcoming Postler e-mail client, the Dexter address book, the Purple dictionary, and Nautilus elementary.

Also, using websites like Wakoopa or AlternativeTo, some better alternatives may be found.

This is a pretty sweet idea. Could save a lot of google time. Especially for a noob like me.

I love this idea and if AlternativeTo.net has got a good API it would be great to use it. Otherwise it could be user generated and integrated in the Linux Mint Community, but that would raise the effort quite much.

Maybe integration with AlternativeTo.net would be the way to go?

This could be user generated.
