[–] Mountainaire@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (2 children) What if a proxy dev account offered to put up a bunch of devs' apps on the store?

You risk hostile takeover if the Dev has bad intentions and you risk suddenly being off the store if the Dev account gets blocked for one of the other apps.
