How much would it cost to just hire a team that will manually review every commit to every popular npm package and its dependencies? Is it possible to make it a working business? Seems like it will cost much less than total damage done by supply chain attacks

There are companies that continuously rebuild popular libraries from source in an isolated environment and serve it to you -- which would eliminate certain types of distribution attack (Chainguard, for example).

I don't know if anyone's doing it at the individual commit level as a business.
