I am not assigning any personal blame or making an accusation of bad judgement on the maintainer.

Taking contributions from anons appears to be common. I am suggesting that should change.

Contributions from anons can and in most cases will be verified by maintainers. The actual problem here is appointing them as maintainers.

EDIT: To be clear, this problem is not directed to the original xz maintainer, but more about how to prevent or reduce such appointments in the first place.
