> The client, accessing remote repos, is wildly insecure, by design

Who's the best kid in the block regarding third-party extensions security?

There's really not much standing in front of a supply-chain attack for my editor of choice, emacs. Most people use a community extensions aggregator that also directly fetches from git repositories. The only slim advantage we have is that I'm sure a much higher % of emacs users would actually look into the source code of the extensions they pull.
