I would like to see more attention given to this. I'm capable of compartmentalization and not over-guilting myself, but holy hell, I really hope he's doing alright. This would kind of destroy me.

I was actually telling my dad about this. I have a project, 500+ users, not quite root access, but enough to cause serious damage. I can think of at least one covert way to backdoor the binary artifacts from it.

About two years ago, someone showed up, started making good commits. In this case, they have some other community rep that goes back a bit further but... man it's an unsettling feeling.
