"Trust" might be the wrong word. "Interest" might be better. I have a group of people whom I am interested in. They sometimes say interesting things. So I'm interested in who _they_ think are interesting. I also find it useful to be informed when the author of a message is neither in my interest group, nor in any of theirs. Such authors are outsiders knocking to get in.
