That's definitely a valid concern in the general case, but I wouldn't
call myself a fresh member of the community. I've been the primary
maintainer of the PgBouncer repo for ~2 years now and I also have
commit access to the cfbot repo. So *if* I wanted to add backdoor in
some critical infrastructure I wouldn't need access to the commitfest
app repo to do that. I also rank relatively high on Robbert's yearly
stats list[1].
