Sorry ,I thought it would be clear for you and /or others.
So just one more try.
When you use a metadata source plugin you can only put get an integer(not a decimal) value for the rating field.
In stead of using the rating field, I suggest to use the publisher-field to fill with the publishers name, followed by a seperator and then followed by the decimal rating. It is possible because the publisherfield is a text field.
To realize this you have to make a simple change to the goodread metadatasource plugin.
The result is that, with this plugin, you get the decimal rating in the publisherfield of your book (after the name of the publisher).
The second step would be: to make a function within calibre, which looks for the separator in the publisher field en then split the text in the name and the rating.
Then convert the rating (in text) to a decimal value, which can be placed in the rating collumn you mentioned .
Hope you understand, I did my best
