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?

    Hi All
    Lova, the site looks amazing and thanks for all of your work on it.

    I am asking on behalf of one of my clients how does a plugin become
    featured?



Back in the days when the plugin site was designed and the plugins were just a couple of dozen it seemed nice to have a way to showcase what we (the small QGIS community) thought they were the most amazing, it was an editorial choice.

I guess it doesn't make much sense to keep that list nowaday.
