I have a Greasemonkey script that does this, IMO, very nicely. I'm not 100%
sure how GM script distribution works, but can't a server put files in a
particular directory to have them be automatically suggested for
installation by Greasemonkey?
I know it's not a perfect or even nice solution, but it might help reduce
the incentive for this sort of thing. "Well, you *could* give your login
credentials to this unafiliated unknown site, or you could just install this
WMF-endorsed script on your open source Firefox extension..." isn't a very
difficult decision...

I'm not sure what to do about this; it seems like
a good idea but a
major security risk:
http://www.watchlistr.com/ is a site that creates aggregate watchlists
across multiple projects. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bounty_board#Transwiki_…
The user who made it has very little editing history, and the site
aggregates watchlists across multiple projects, but requires inputting
your Wikimedia password into the
watchlistr.com site. I have no
specific reason to think it's a scam, but if I was trying to phish
passwords I would do something like this.
