--------------------------------

             Summary: Prevent Spam and abuse in plugin registry
                 Key: CB-7317
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7317
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Registry
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
            Reporter: GooggleAdmob


Hi there, I am reporting spam and abuse on plugin:
com.admob.admobplugin
com.google.admob

I have strong reason to believe this author is abusing apache plugin registry with cheat behavior.

http://plugins.cordova.io/#/package/com.google.admob
the downloads increase from 0 to 16471 in 2 days.

https://github.com/gooogleadmob/admob-phonegap/stargazers
there are 54 stars, but most of the names are spam and in pattern "jokenichl"...

https://github.com/gooogleadmob/admob-phonegap/network
there are 41 forks, but none is real.

the plugin is a blackbox. there is no source code at all, all binary jar and framework libs.

author name "gooogle" and "admob", but it's quite clear that the author are not from google or admob. just like this one I am using, it's fake but it's accpeted by system.
