I see your point. This is, of course a problem to solve.

I plan to add a moderation system to KDE-Look.org
So if a random user uploads a new plasmoid the plasmoid will be in a 
moderation queue first. A user with moderation privileges has to review the 
code and unlock the upload. After the approval of the moderator the plasmoid 
will be downloadable from the website and over GHNS.
It will be also possible to give well knows and longtime contributors the 
right to publish updates for their plasmoids without a moderator.

What do you think? Is this sufficient for you?

It would also be possible to digitally sign the plasmoids via GPG. Do you 
think this is helpfull?


Thank you.

Cheers
Frank
