[TYPO3-english] (TYPO3) Surf as official product?

In my opinion the TYPO3 Namespace should be open to the community. The 
community forms the association, so everyone who decides to use the NS 
for his own Products should do that. There are individuals out there 
which kickstart a great product and gather a team around them 
afterwards. The symfony project does this too for example.

Maybe it's enough to distinguish the official core products and the 
community products by the author in the ext_emconf/composer file. An 
alternative could be to use gpg/ssl keys to sign these files. Git 
version tags could also be singed by that key. Everyone could prove the 
source by checking the signature against the public key. This would also 
improve the security of the TER if widely used.

Best regards,
Tom
