well the code doesn't write itself, so partially true. But ultimately it's about accountability. If Dominic himself added the backdoor, his presence in the community would end that day. If an anonymous alias does that, we don't even know who to blame. Dominic's fault is not the backdoor, but the irresponsibility of handing over a used package to an anonymous alias. Not being clear about the fact that the package is abandoned. I wouldn't depend on an abandoned package, if I knew that.
