WordPress plug ins are - as far as I know - not reviewed. You're at the mercy of the respective developer.

They are, as this link seem to indicate: https://wordpress.org/plugins/add/

>Currently there are 224 plugins in the review queue, 198 of which are awaiting their initial review.

There are more than 38k plug ins available (https://en.wordpress.org/plugins/). And also from what I have seen so far - there is no extensive (if any) reviewing done regarding safety and quality.

When you first add a new plugin it is reviewed, but once it's been accepted you are free to push out whatever changes you want without review.
