Yes, this is exactly how it should work: once a new plugin author is
known not to be an evil bad guy he gets flagged as "trusted" (every
staff member can flag another user as trusted from the front-end).

Being a "trusted" user means to have "plugins.can_approve" permissions
(i.e. having all versions automatically approved on upload).

All this things have been discussed and agreed on this list (a few
months ago) and are documented here:

https://github.com/qgis/qgis-django/blob/master/qgis-app/plugins/docs/introduction.rst

What we really need now is somebody to help with documenting this
stuff in a more user-friendly way and improve/maintain the HTML pages
on plugins.qgis.org , also text of the warning or error messages can
be improved, a mothertongue english speaker could lend a hand on this
topic.
