User-based media gallery

Custom post types seem the best match for what you want: you get the permalinks, comments, … You only need one of the many rating plugins as an extra.

If the users have accounts you could try making them authors, it could work since they exist in the users table so the posts table can link there. You know you can create a limited role that can only access one specific custom post type, and not edit everything? Otherwise do it as a custom taxonomy: this also gives you automatic permalinks and archive pages.
