Wow, how disappointing. And poor title to describe a very bad decision by a human being, not a movement. This has nothing to do with open source, and everything to do with human nature. Someone on the inside of a closed source project with commit rights at a company with a poor review process could just as easily have done this to make some kind of point. Same result.
Furthermore, I can't possibly audit every single line of every open source project I run on my personal machine. Did you review every line of the last distro you installed? A python package installed via pip can just as easily 'rm -r ~' as a bash script can, as can a vim plugin, etc. etc. In the end, it often comes down to trust, and credibility.
What have you done to yours?
