It's too bad there isn't some sinister cabal of trusted individuals within the Ubuntu project that can review packages for quality and package them securely and in an auditable fashion.

A snap package may ask for elevated permissions. In that case, it goes for manual review.

But if it does not ask for special permissions, then it goes in automatically. Because the app is quite confined.

Compared to other package repos, here it's somewhat better.

That'd be a walled garden, can't have that.
