Sorry, I don't know much about the subject, so this is not a rhetorical or even just loaded question:

Isn't it actually the case that you started with 3 strangers, but 27 of them were relatively easy (still took some time) to figure out as safe?

You have 30 items you bought from various stores. You bought ~20 from yourself, around 5 from Google, 4 from hsivonen and one from servo.

You could of course investigate individuals commits, but that's probably an overkill.
