I believe that it is too late for such hopes, and that a majority of
Emacs users know about Melpa and/or uses it. Some people know about it
without using it (most of them probably read this list) and some
people use it without knowing it (users of pre-configured emacs'es).
For instance, those three links were on the first page of a duckduckgo
search for "install emacs packages":
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InstallingPackages
http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_package_system.html
http://pragmaticemacs.com/emacs/install-packages/
None of them denunciate anything, only one of them even mentions that
Melpa is not official.
I believe that if the Emacs webpage and manual were to mention Melpa,
it would inform a lot of users about the potential risks to freedom of
Melpa, and only inform a few users of the existence of Melpa.
