+1 in github you can enforce a minimum number of reviewers. IMO there
should be a minimum of two reviewers and one of the reviewers should
be from the security group/role. Though primary risk would be
introducing new vulnerable dependency but there is no bound to other
kinds of exploitation. Also github vulnerability scan should be
enabled by default.
