[Qgis-user] Trusted plugins

Dear all,

Recently, the QGIS plugin website has introduced a "trusted" flag for 
plugins.

Following a question at 
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/203116/what-does-the-trusted-flag-mean-for-qgis-plugins, 
that has nothing to do with the approval process, but just indicates 
that the plugin is from a trusted author.

Perhaps the flag should be expanded from "Trusted" to "Trusted Author" 
to make things clearer. Any opinions from the user's side?


It still might be that the account of a trusted contributor gets hacked, 
and malware is spread under his name. So no perfect safety here (as 
anywhere).

Greetings,
André Joost
