I'm guessing it will be by a range of separate ideas
all competing to show they can deliver at the end of
the day the most.
So, mozdev might have a list of approved authors
(which is what you are working to, right?) and there
will be others out there doing something different.
What the market will decide then is "if mozdev says
it's ok, then it's ok, elsewise take more care" ...
maybe. So it becomes a competition for reputation
and mindspace.
The nice thing about that is that the code signing
features seem to be in place already.
