How is this different from a backdoor in, say, a Thunderbird extension? I've maintained an extension for Thunderbird and, when I was no longer interested in it, a guy pushed hard to take over the project after sending a few legitimate contributions. I declined because it seemed crazy to give the keys to tens of thousands mailbox to a guy I didn't really know. I also found it crazy that people would trust me initially, but well, I know I'm a good guy :-)
