We need to have support for this in the Plugins site, e.g. by adding another (probably accessible only for admins) tag to plugins XML file. Once we will have this, we can add support in Plugin Manager

Seems these changes case some troubles with pugin site, so for now we use older version without "trusted" attribute

I suggest to backport the trusted flag to the QGIS 2.14.4 LTR version as well.
Furthermore, it should be included on https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ as well, possibly with a help icon that explains what the trusted flag is about. Maybe "Trusted Author" is more meaningful to end users. See http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/203116/what-does-the-trusted-flag-mean-for-qgis-plugins for a discussion about that.
