Part Vetting

Is there any way to vet pin names and footprints on custom parts made by the community? One of the main reasons that stops me from using Flux is that people who create custom symbols for IC's usually don't take the time to also create the footprint and properly label the pins according to the datasheet. Some will even leave out pins that they deem "unnecessary". This absolutely kills productivity as now the designer must try and analyze the symbol itself to make sure that it fits the specifications on the datasheet, spend additional time searching and vetting a suitable alternative, or make their own from scratch. I understand the desire to offload work by having the community create create a symbol library for your business, but having no vetting process for symbols just fills the search with unfinished garbage.
