[QGIS-Developer] QGIS Plugin site

[Raymond Nijssen]

Maybe this can be replaced by something similar, but more reliable and 
fair?

Recently, a customer of mine asked me if there was a list of plugins 
that can be trusted. They felt vulnerable having all QGIS users in the 
organisation downloading any plugin (= python code) and running it. On 
the other hand, QGIS without plugins is pretty useless.

I was thinking about an option for plugins to get a quality tag, for 
example when is has multiple developers reviewing each others code. Or a 
certified company reviewing plugin code. Like the certified companies 
for education? Or uploading/updating a "trusted plugin" cost 100 euros, 
and the one approving the plugin code gets that money?

All pretty hard to set up I think, but I also understand the need.

Maybe someone here has a better idea?
