I submitted this pull request to bitcoin.org, requesting that they add it to the clients page.

The pull request was rightfully rejected.

NAK. The same reasoning would have had it previously promoting mybitcoin.

I think Bitcoin.org should not promote centralized services generally. More specifically it shouldn't promote a centralized service which is not licensed, insured, and (most importantly) independently audited.

Is there anything that can be done to make My Wallet a bit more auditable?
I think the main concern right now is that someone with developer/admin access to My Wallet will implant a hidden trojan/weakness in the javascript code, that will leak unencrypted (or weakly encrypted) passwords back to the server.

Can this concern be addressed somehow?
