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

Fri Sep 8 05:37:55 PDT 2017

Hi!

I like Community contributor (more than trusted author)
but have another addition
Contributor known by the community ..
But I think that distracts us from the plugins "tag" that it is.

what about "checked" or "scanned" or something like that?

regards
Werner
