You're talking about actions that security-minded parties could take already, if they cared to do so. Run your own registry, and audit everything that goes in, before it goes in. That would be a lot of work, but it would actually affect security to some degree. This idea that packages will be safe if only we inconvenience all package authors enough is just silly.
