That's bullshit though. Why would you trust some random community maintainer to get between you and the user? Now when shit goes wrong there's one more person in the loop of blame to deal with. There are famous incidents of maintainers introducing problems to otherwise correct software, and ignoring the developer.

How is this considered a sane way to distribute software!?
