          True, but I really appreciate that someone is doing it. (It’s far beyond my capabilities…)

      could

      could in the same sense that i could check all software i use for bugs and malicious code. realistically, i can’t, because it’s way too much work.

        But you could work together with other people, and you could be many people that each checked his/her part for malicious code.

            You could do it with enough people that there is several sections overlapping between unrelated people that it becomes infeasible even for state actors to compromise EVERY person attesting any one piece of software
