True, but in that case we don't host the file and the update isn't coming from us. Its indeed a matter of responsibility like Surfi said.

hmm, if plus! had an auto updater (for scripts) then you could do what firefox does with its extension site https://addons.mozilla.org if you submit a extension to the site then they only allow the update to come from their extension site. (if you host it yourself you can have the update file coming from anywhere... but most people are fine with the way that system works) (oh and all updates sent to the firefox extension site get checked before the update is accepted)
though for a system like that to work, the script db would have to have an easier way of submitting updates and for patchou to add a script updater to plus!
