It has been standard practice for decades. Sometimes this goes wrong, because everything can go wrong. It happens. Casting doubt on any contributor, any maintainer, and any long-term maintainer with fantastical stories is just throwing shade. Of course no one can be trusted absolutely; that has always been true for anything from software to child care to launching nuclear bombs. Anyone and anything can become suspect if you analyse things with enough of a suspicious mindset.
