A 'vetting' and reputation system was proposed in some early design documents for fedora.us, but that project lacked the mass to make it work; cAos tried a variation of this, and encountered a problem with its v.2 when a novice packager inadvertently introduced a 'one way' library version bump, impairing the maintainability of that release going forward;
considering how big were the conversations about what should {not} be done, maybe you're around the critical mass point, and this idea should be reconsidered for the benefit of both the project {developers} and the user's community.
