The ability to include code in a release of widely-used software involves a large amount of trust, and for a distributed, volunteer project, you don't get the checks that either a long personal relationship or a formal employment background check would give you. This puts you at risk of, as Juniper so eloquently put it recently, "unauthorized code".
