If the maintainer of a package trusts everyone on the Internet, then users who trust that maintainer (by installing their package) transitively trusts everyone on the Internet, which they might not have expected if the maintainer didn't declare this position upfront.
Maybe we need a way to declare in the package and repository metadata that the maintainer considers it world-writable and it shouldn't be installed or updated without very carefully reviewing the code of every new version.
