This is very similar to Majority Judgment. The advantages of the latter are:
1. There's a book about it.
2. There's a wikipedia article about it.
3. Balinski and Laraki (the inventors) make a good argument that methods
like this should use words, not numbers, as rating categories, to encourage
a common understanding of meanings among voters; and that this will improve
results.

I'll check its wikipedia article and its electowiki article if there is one.

Majority Judgement--Isn't that the Score Voting method that elects the candidate
with the highest median score? It seems to me that that method shares much of the
extreme-rating incentive of ordinary Score Voting (the one that just sums each 
candidate's scores).

SODA voting. As I've said about 5 times already.

Yes, but, as I was saying, I've encountered resistance when bringing up methods involving
proxies (delegates. 

Of course it doesn't hurt to ask people, but I didn't have much success with such methods in
the past.
