but they can write malware and commit it to their repos.

the question is how long will it take for someone to recognize it. ie.: how well obfuscated is it?

not saying they gonna do it, just that doesn't trust any code just bc they are open source

They're not geniuses, they won't be able to hide malware code for long. And the moment it's recognized they are finished as far as ever being coders on any related project in the future, so I don't see how they could accomplish much by doing that.
