Does the community really have so much spare resource that we can QA non-free (and presumably non-community) apps? I suppose one way to look at it is that these are no-cost apps that the community can't have unless it QA's them; from that PoV I think providing a place for the app's userbase to QA the apps is fine but I feel that they should be separate to a community queue.
