Hm...
I am thinking something along the lines of Debian's system. We would have main, which would be approved by WikiMedia, and then contrib, which would be approved by the community (say at least two people have to say "It looks good"), and then non-free where anything goes.
The names could all be changed of course... "Core", "Trusted", "Universe" or something.

Are there any talks of implementing an extension manager and a proper extension repository? Something that will allow new versions to be detected, downloaded, UPGRADE files to be displayed, etc all from one location? Something that could also allow enabling, disabling, installing, and uninstalling extensions?
The software would be quite straightforward, the issue here is maintaining a repository; there is a lot of sloppy extension code out there, some of it outright insecure, and we don't really want the hassle of keeping track of it all and checking it's all sane.
