Let the code speak.
I don't clearly get what your software is doing from the output.

The only thing that could get near to what I had in mind would have to 
be integrated in the mailing list software (mailing list manager and 
archive).

The mailing list manager sends emails containing a link, if you follow 
the link the mailing list archive will add a "like" to the post.

Once you have the "likes" you could generate pages with most liked posts 
or add the most liked post of a thread when people are consulting the 
archive and so on.

I bet this is going to boost ranking on SE and sooner or later it will 
be explicitly added as a signal in SE algorithms.
