I'd be more worried about this site being still operational in 20-50 years from now, when it would start having chances to actually fulfil its purpose.

Chances of that are ~0.

And still, failure would be detectable, because you'd stop getting emails. And arguably that's better than false activation.

But the point is that this is open-source. So you run your own service.

Yeah if it suddenly just stops sending you emails one day, are you sure you're going to notice?
