In my opinion, even if we organize such weeks of test, it will not
help a lot. And how to do exactly the test - just trying to run the
plugin or doing code review? Moreover take in account: when a
developer produces an update, should we test it again? Some plugins
might release new versions quite often...
B, to prevent yourself from running some dangerous or malicious you
should check who's the author and how confident are you that he won't
try to do harm to your computer.
