Hmm, potentially, the problem is that hardly anyone ever audits packages, while at least someone occasionally gives a look at a repository history Can't the things you list be part of the build scripts?

If you distribute generated artifacts you're not really distributing the source (and thus xz can happen) Even for documentation, you'd think it would be harmless to generate it, but it's far from a given that the tools (e.g.

It is, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to write about dead submissions. It's flagged but not dead submissions that I can't find.

You should be required to provide a reason when flagging something, possibly choosing from a set of common and legitimate reasons. And if it's some Hacker News own bot doing some of the killing, that should be declared. And a ton of ot
