Exclude Posts IDs via Shortcode Improvement

Hello everybody:
first great plugin. Just I looked for an option to exclude specific posts via IDs. Therfore I modified the following lines in thumbs-rating.php, to have a possibility to adjust the displaying in the frontend. This can be achieved by adding (for instance) the following into the shortcode invocation:
exclude_posts=”4,8,15,16,23,42″

I added the array for the default values:
'exclude_posts' => [4,8,15,16,23,42],

and added the argument:
'post__not_in' => explode(",", $exclude_posts),

REMARK FOR THE DEVELOPER:
Because it is hardcoded it would be awesome if with a future update this functionality could be implemented. Another general remark would be to use WP-Hooks, so that as a developer I can easily hook the functions ??

default values in line 340:

extract( shortcode_atts( array(
			'exclude_posts' => [4,8,15,16,23,42],
			'type' => 'positive',
			'posts_per_page' => 5,
			'category' => '',
			'show_votes' => 'yes',
			'post_type' => 'any',
			'show_both' => 'no',
			'order' => 'DESC'
		), $atts ) );

added ‘exclude_posts’ to arguments in line 367:

 $args = array (
	    	'post__not_in'			=> explode(",", $exclude_posts),
	    	'post_type'				=> $post_type,
			'post_status'			=> 'publish',
			'cat'					=> $category,
			'pagination'			=> false,
			'posts_per_page'		=> $posts_per_page,
			'cache_results'			=> true,
			'meta_key'				=> $meta_key,
			'order'					=> $order,
			'orderby'				=> 'meta_value_num',
			'ignore_sticky_posts'	=> true
		);
