<br><br>Want your module "golden"?<br>* address issues in the tracker in a reasonable timeframe<br>* be ready for the release of Drupal by the RC stage<br>* add unit testing (simpletest) and/or black box testing (selenium)
<br></div>* use proper Drupal APIs (theme functions, connect with other modules, etc.)<br>* make your module kick ass<br><br>If you do all of the above, I, personally, will ship you a certificate with the name of the module and a big gold star on it.
