Researchers develop a Kodi tool to tell users whether an addon is safe or not safekodi
I'd be interested in the Kodi teams official response to this

I may be wrong, but there has been a PR to add it to the official repo and many Kodi Team members have replied about it.
It had been rejected and there are many privacy issues about it.
A "third-party" group is getting the list of addons you have installed, who really knows how they are going to use this info?
Any addon found outside Kodi repository is inherently unsafe because the code has not been analyzed by Kodi Team members.
A "third-party" addon declared as "safe" by a "third-party" group is a very bad idea.
