For what it's worth, BlackBerry App World has a form of this. You pay $200, and are given ten "submissions", after which you need to renew for another $200. Each "submission" triggers a manual review process.
While I don't agree with the high price/submission or the manual review process, I do think that $10/app will go a long way to curbing the nonsense out there.
