Thanks for sharing this.

I thought this comment was strange at the end of Catfriend1’s post:

> I’ll review the progress from time to time and if I find anything malicious going on, I’ll let you know here.

That’s absolutely not something you say when you trust the person you’re handing things over to :s

There is an uncounted amount of trusted people who turned to malice, especially in vulnerable situations. Even if someone initially was trustable, they can always have a change of motivation for whatever reason. And that's leaving out accidental fuckups turning harmful. At this point it's clear that even in open source, blind trust can be harmful long term.
