Title: The Malware Problem (and a solution)

So, there have been some discussions about possible solutions for this issue. Some have proposed that we add a review process to all of this, so that anything that gets uploaded gets a security check from some KDE developers. That's a neat idea on paper. But only there. This couldn't possibly work out, for two reasons: 1) Manpower - We simply don't have enough of that. 2) Responsibility - Who wants to be responsible for letting Malware slip through your fingers? This can happen to anyone, and it would be pretty embarrassing. I certainly wouldn't want to be responsible for anything.
