[QGIS-Developer] Reword "Trusted Plugin" --> "Trusted Plugin Author"?

[Tom Chadwin]

So it's not that you don't trust my work, it's that you don't trust me?

As an untrusted plugin author, I should say that this makes little
difference. While I 100% understand the rationale behind this process, it
still feels like a bit of a slap in the face. Perhaps the use of the word
"trust", be it applied to plugin or author, is too loaded for me. In fact,
transferring the usage to individuals makes it more galling - it's one thing
for the work I have done voluntarily over the past three or four years not
to be trusted by the core devs, but it's quite another for me, personally,
not to be trusted.

I of course understand that the inference is not that I and my work are not
trusted. I simply worded that last sentence deliberately to make the point
that this label, and its absence, seems arbitrary at best, possibly
reinforces the (otherwise seldom apparent) clique nature of devs in general
and the QGIS core devs in particular, and at worst is insulting.

Hope you understand - I feel the point had to be made.

Thanks

Tom
