There is no hidden magic in what the plugins can do. The developers have to publish their plugins as zip files onto the forum threads in order for it to be able to be installed into your calibre. So there is every opportunity for anyone to examine the contents of a plugin if you have concerns before it touches your machine. In fact I am sure every plugin author here has looked through the code of at least one other person's plugins source code at some point in time to learn how something can be done.
If anyone ever did suspect some behavior of a plugin they only need to report it in the MobileRead forums. I have no doubt that if it was proven to be a real problem the mods would immediately swing into action if it was needed. These forums are very active and posts are very quickly responded to by the community.
