If they don’t like using their free time to write code they don’t have to, it’s free time not work.

So, what it actually comes down to is that they didn’t bother to write tests. There was no time pressure, there was no urgency or requirement, they just couldn’t be bothered to do that prior to release. If there’s a note somewhere saying “I know it’s not quite done...” then I’ll let it slide.

Have you seen something along those lines?

Kindly go to the source repository.

That's what a TODO file is for. There is one you can browse to here: https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/file/tip/TODO

There is also literally a dozen lines in the LICENSE file saying that the software is not quite production ready (THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS") and should not be relied upon (THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS).

It's all spelled black on white, not sure what you would want more from the author?

From the comment I originally replied to:

I did not refer to the Sudo project at all, so you might want to redirect your post to someone who did.
