Should Plugin Security Audits Be An Expected Best Practice?

There have been a number of plugins that have repeated had security issues, even among the bigger players. In this editorial I suggest that it is time for the big players to start having their plugins audited for security. When we evaluate plugins we check for a money back guarantee, that they tell about themselves on the website, that they have positive reviews, are actively providing support, and so on. Lets start politely asking about independent security audits.
