I cannot assume that on one hand one trusted person pushes to the main
Git repo in good faith and on other hand this very same trusted person
behaves as a warewolves using a shared resource.
For sure, one can always abuse the trust. Based on this principle, we
could stop any collaborative work right now. The real question is the
evaluation of the risk of such abuse by trusted people after long period
of collaboration (that’s what committer usually means).
Various examples exist on this kind of abused trust. Oliver the Spy is
one, Mark Kennedy/Stone is another recent one.
Anyway! :-)
All the best,
simon
