Build Identifier: 

The feeds for add-on reviews do not include GUIDs for each review in the feed, making it difficult to follow the feed with many popular feed readers.  Also, since the link element for each item in the feed links to the main review page for the add-on, new items cannot be distinguished from the old in that manner either.

Might I suggest either having permalink pages for individual reviews and using that URL as the GUID, or at least use something like <guid>review-{review_id}@addons.mozilla.org</guid>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a feed of reviews
Actual Results:  
Each item should have a unique identifier.

Expected Results:  
Each item does not have a unique identifier.
Confirming, having these would help. I have to look if permalinks are easily achievable (after all we need to point to the right page in the review list), otherwise I'll go for your other suggestion.

Also, the feed doesn't specify author names for reviews: That seems like a good thing to add too.
