@Faresh 1.) Making it easier to analyze. There are multiple steps in the whole process which may be hiding an exploit. The "tarball-not-same-as-git" is a clear example. Sure, reviewing will still be necessary and it will still be difficult, but it doesn't have to be as difficult as today. 2.) stop giving maintainer rights, fork instead. That's what pull requests are for. 3.) we should be careful if our critical infrastructure depends on a hobby project - either pay, or don't depend.
