Rating is already collected. You can modify what's included in calibre's tags with the
include_subject_tags ini parameter.

I'm not interested in writing code to support an archive site for an existing supported site. If someone else wants to write it, I will review and accept it.

FanFicFare already collects prequel and sequel links. Due to lack of series name and allowing multiple sequels, that's as far as I plan to take it. This is a bit like AO3's tags--there's only so much we can reasonably do with the design decisions made by the source site.

That is a deliberate design decision. FanFicFare is meant to be a story downloading tool, not a large scale harvesting tool. Admittedly, the line is fuzzy, but I judge that to be over it.

Outside the scope of this tool. FanFicFare is specifically intended for producing ebook versions of fiction stories for ebook readers and archiving. While there is support for a few original fiction sites, fanfiction is the primary focus--it's right in the name.
FanFicFare is an open source project under the Apache License. If you want to repurpose parts of the code into a more general page scrape -> ebook took, you can. But I'm not interested in making or supporting such a tool.
