How would you want the system structured? You’re paying for Mozilla to vouch for your add-on and say that it’s safe.

I mean you could try to do a web of trust kinda thing but you would still end up paying someone.

I get where you’re coming from that they could just not have the scary warning but the fact that it’s hosted on Mozilla’s site without a warning already lends a lot of legitimacy to what should be seen as “some random person’s add on.”
