Appstream metadata, which is canonically provided by upstreams and is
distro- and package-type-agnostic (available in at least apt and Flatpak),
has this as an optional field for self-rating:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#tag-content_rating
https://hughsie.github.io/oars/
I suspect that's the only way this could possibly work without money
changing hands.
There are no age classifications, however.
So based on content_rating tag on AppStream metadata, we can add logic to apt
in order to determine age rating for our
packages. However, external review (maintainers) may be need in order to
prevent misleading information on
content_rating.
To clarify: Age ratings vary wildly between countries. So what we
expect is that software centers will not actually display
content_rating information, but instead compile an age rating out of
it based on the user's current location/locale and then display that.
Having a "one-size fits all" generic rating isn't very practical.

So APT need to do what you mention, that is determining age rating not
only based on AppStream metadata, but also on system locale?
