For the confusion around verified publishing, this is something the CNCF encourages artifact authors and their projects to set up. Here are the instructions for verifying your artifact:

https://artifacthub.io/docs/topics/repositories/

You can do the same with just about any K8s related artifact. We always encourage projects to go through the process but sometimes they need help understanding that it exists in the first place.

Artifacthub is itself an incubating project in the CNCF, ideas around making this easier for everyone are always welcome, thanks!

Including ingress-nginx? Per OP, it's not marked as verified. If even the official components don't bother, it's hard to recommend it to third parties.

As far as I'm aware, ingress-nginx is just the defacto ingress, but not actually an official/ reference implementation?

I think that's about 20% of the complaints in this thread: there isn't an official/reference implementation of just any of the components, because it matters a great deal what functionality you already have lying around versus needing to bring with you
