That's an interesting idea! A "vetted" package index that charges subscription and splits the revenue with package maintainers. In return, maintainers agree to jump through all the extra hoops and index maintainers do extra verification (but still no warranty except that the standard procedure is followed). The same package can then be uploaded to the normal index (as it is now), but without these extra steps, and no vetting.
